Invisible Children and &#039;Kill the Gays&#039; Pastor Martin Ssempa A video posted five years ago by a student group at Grove City College &ndash; a small evangelical school in Pennsylvania &ndash; raises questions about whether Invisible Children, the organization behind the viral juggernaut Kony 2012, has worked with notorious Ugandan pastor Martin Ssempa. Ssempa, a longtime anti-gay activist, is the chairman of the National Taskforce against Homosexuality in Uganda and a major proponent of legislation that calls for the execution of gays and lesbians who are found &ldquo;guilty&rdquo; of having homosexual sex. He regularly shows graphic gay porn during his presentations and seems obsessed with outrageous fetishes, typically of the scatological variety, that he claims are common practice among gay men.
