The speaker of Uganda’s parliament is accusing Canada of denying some of her fellow lawmakers visas for an Inter-Parliamentary Union conference — and she is falsely accusing Canada of doing so due to the Ugandans’ opposition to marriage equality.
The latest dispute began Monday when Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird criticized Uganda, Syria, and Iran for their atrocious human rights records, including the government-supported killing of religious and sexual minorities.
Baird’s statement occurred before some 1,400 international parliamentarians who were meeting for the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Quebec. According to The Canadian Press, Canada made little if any effort “to stop the presence of legislators from those countries at the 127th conference of the IPU, which Canada is hosting this year.”
Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament Rebecca Kadaga responded by accusing Baird of “arrogance” and “ignorance.” Kadaga demanded an apology. “If homosexuality is a value for the Canadian people, that’s not a problem for us, that’s it’s issue, but one shouldn’t force Ugandans to accept homosexuality because we’re not Canadian citizens,” Kadaga said, reportedly receiving applause from the conference floor.
Baird responded to the various nations’ objections: “I know staying silent is never an option when people stone women, when they hang gays, when they incite genocide, when they say they want to wipe the Jewish people and the Jewish state off the map, when they dishonour their UN obligations, when they spread hateful and racist rhetoric.”
Kadaga escalated the dispute on Tuesday, according to Uganda’s Daily Trust, which reported only Kadaga’s perspective and not that of Canadian officials.
First Kadaga accused Canada of denying visas and provided a dubious reason for the supposed denial; Canada did not exclude other nations that do not recognize marriage equality, and likely excluded Uganda parliamentarians who are known to support genocide. Just two weeks ago, during celebrations of Uganda’s 50th anniversary of independence, parliamentarian Cecilia Atim Ogwal was among those who publicly called upon all of Africa to support Uganda’s final solution. Visiting lawmakers from Namibia and South Africa criticized Ogwal’s proposal, according to Box Turtle Bulletin.
Kadaga also said that antigay parliamentarians had refused to allow the Quebec conference organizers to pre-review their speeches for offensive or genocidal content.
Ugandan officials have frequently mischaracterized international human-rights concerns as a fight over “gay marriage,” in order to deflect global attention from Uganda’s ongoing campaign to legalize the execution of all homosexuals and to imprison family members, health professionals, and peers who support nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Mama Rebecca Kadaga,
Thank you for giving the ignorant Canadian minister some light.
In any case he need to note that we have two choices: Heaven and UN. Uganda is a God loving country and it is with God’s intervention that we are who we are. where was Canada and the UN when the country was in trouble by Idi Amin ? why didn’t it come out to save its Homos and lesbians if there were any by then? After Ugandans and Tanzanians shading blood for the liberation of Uganda, the likes of Baird sneaks in evil characters to destroy the future generation??? No!!!!.
We managed without Canada and still we can, M/s Kadaga did not come to ask you for anything.
We are fade- up of the western behaviors and bringing in crap influences into our Country.
For God and My country
@ Esther, How can you speak the name of G-d and all this vile crap with the same mouth? Don’t you know G-d created everything and everyone including gay people? The hatred so evident in your rant comes from spirits less holy than G-d and is reveling the festering puss of your soul. I implore you to ask G-d’s forgiveness while you still can.
For G-d and your country
and that’s the same God who hates boom ruptors(homoz). Thumbs up Esther.
Elijah Nabi
Uganda…a country full of closet cases!
Thank you dear speaker for speaking up what God would speak if he were in your place!
Esther, if you’re do fade (sic) up with ‘western inference’, why does your Parliament still wear those British wigs? And why does your country always have its hand out when the west offers you foreign aid? But the door slams when we call you on the carpet for your backwards, hateful, homophobic bigotry. The fact that you and Elijah Nabi both called us homos/homoz shows what mean spirited sanctimonious hypocrites you really are. And Williams, as soon as people start claiming that they KNOW what God thinks or ‘says’, we know we’re in deep s**t, because 9 times out of 10 hatred and violence follow.
You know, it wasn’t that long ago that Christians believed that being black was a curse from G-d and that punishment of slavery was a reasonable thing. Now a days, we think such views are barbaric but then people who presumed to speak for G-d would say it was G-d’s will. And even in those days, Canada was a haven to escape such barbarism. Now Canada is still a haven and people lucky enough to get here find a safe place to live and thrive. Damn straight, Canadian values are different than African Values. Here we value all people and there is no law against love.
Esther,
Both Christianity and Uganda’s anti-gay laws are remnants of British colonial rule.
If you hate Western influences so much, please explain why on earth you so fervently cling on to our religion and our outdated laws (and our wigs!)?
There is nothing inherantly African in evangelical christianity or the related anti-gay sentiments now prevelant in Uganda. These are (Victorian) British values.
Bigoted, hateful people ALWAYS know what God wants and what God would say if He was here. AND, of course, God always agrees with their viciousness and hate. Well, his son was here and he NEVER advocated the awful attitudes you have toward your fellow citizens. You are so steeped in God’s will? You really need to separate it from your own despicable attitudes.
@Darren, GOD has 3 characters and no dash between G and D. We are proud of our values. Keep ur homosexuality to yourselves. Even animals can distinguish a female from a male for sexual purposes. Do the same.
For God and My Country.
“Even animals can distinguish a female from a male for sexual purposes.”
Then how do you account for the many instances of “homosexuality” documented in nature?
Can you prove that your gawd, the old fart in the sky exists?
I distrust those who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.~Susan B. Anthony
To be honest these western manarisms are sickening. I just can’t imagine a man on top of another man or a woman on top of another woman and it is construed to mean ‘a human right’ issue. It is a moral issue. It is an erosion of morality which Uganda does not want to ssink her future into. It is the message Speaker, Rt. Hon. Becky Alitwala Kadaga was merely informing the west about.
One way to kill Africa is to stall its population growth. The West has ran out of resources and is eyeing recolonising Africa. To encourage homosexuality is one way to stall this population growth so that it will be easier to recolonise Africa. Homosexuality is one way to reduce on population growth and the west practices it because resource to support population growth is constarined in absolute terms. Therefore, west looks at the vice as a ‘human rights’ issue becauseit is a human right to share their limited resources but to Africa, it is a Moral problem because it a very impossible way to keep our population factor as a fuction to exploit our resources. The way forward is to criminalise the Gay& lesbians because they are the advocates for the stagnation of the African race and agents for recolonisation of Africa.
“One way to kill Africa is to stall its population growth.”
A much more effective way is to NOT stall Africa’s population explosion. Excessive fertility is one of Africa’s most devastating problems (along with religiosity and patriarchy).
Exempting homosexuals from the pressure to have children would be a godsend to Africa.
Stopping the homophobia would also free countless heterosexuals who are falsely accused of homosexuality.
Erasu –
It is impossible to either encourage or discourage homosexuality. All the evidence points to sexuality being innate, a facet of one’s make-up that we are born with.
Some people are gay, and some are not. That’s just the way it is.
Africa and the USA…too much religion, not enough education.
It’s interesting that Emmanuel not only casually abuses the name of G-d, but also idolizes his nation as if it were divine. That’s unbiblical, but I doubt Emmanuel cares much about his own sins.
Eresu, that is one ofthe sickest ideas I’ve ever heard. But not unusual. Blaming gay people for what straight people do is the national pastime of truly homo-hating societies.
But you might want to look at what’s happening around lake Victoria and lake tanganyika. The lakes cannot support the vast numbers of people who live there. They are drying up and losing what fish there are.
So do be like other homohating societies, and substitute that for actual knowledge, logic, wisdom, and compassion. You’ll get your wish for recolonization..
It’s time those guys shut up! Homosexuality should nt be forced on us coz it makes us more stupid than cockroaches. A cockroach knws all too well that it shud mate with a female and nt with a male. Genesis chapter 19 shows how sodom and gomorrah was destroyed and one of the reasons it was destroyed was Homosexuality. So Uganda is deeply rooted in God’s standards so don’t bring dat 1st class madness 2 my country. Shut out yo aid and we’ll fully be independent.
Jesse, do you think it’s okay for a man to throw his daughters to a mob to be gang raped like Genesis says?
Oh no!, it is wrong to think the killing of Africa is through population growth. There is no scientific proof to this effect. China’s and India’s population sizes are the factors for their sudden breakthrough. have you ever heard of a race that went extinct on account of high poulation growth?. But I can bet if everybody became gay or lesbian this will surely come true. I still insist the the Gayand Lesbian advocates have a sinster long term agenda;to destroy Africa for its resources. In Uganda, we SHALL resist this immorality and never allow these perverts to destroy our lives.
So in the meantime eresu, you’re going to destroy the lives of people who have harmed no one while continuing to deplete your own resources because there are just too many of you. How logical.
Just get the Gays & lsebians, lock them up in jails,pour salt into the jailocks and throw the keys into the oceans
Oh!RainbowPhoeninx, these gay&Lesbians are not harmless like it is put. Their actions lead to health problems because anal sex destroy their victims with no chance of recovery at all. About our resources it would be better depleted by us than be duped into lifesyles that will exterminate our survival for others. We suffered it from colonisation and we are not ready for a second time however disguised it is to come.
eresu – I dont think you are right, because anal sex have even heterosexual people. But if(IF!) only gay men have anal sex and you say it is health problem, why is illegal homosexual activity and not just anal sex? Oral sex is safe, mutual masturbation is safe, other sexual activities are safe.
Just think of what you have just mentioned of the various sex ways; mouth, masturbation etc, to do all tese are you telling the world that there are no women to make love with so that one has to resort to these funny and obscene things, and yet claim it is a human rights issue?. This a moral problem or some kind or some thing to do with a mental diorder which is not expected to be commonsense. I am sure this could be due to the loneliness of European lifestyle which has driven individuals to musterbate or do all these funny things. I can now guess why many women from Europe come to Africa as sex tourists. Please do not abandon your women, thay are starving for men and you are there just wasting yourselves with homosexuality
You are talking about anal sex. You said anal sex is problem. Not other sexual practices. This debate about sexual things is over, because you do not understand human sexuality. People express their love in different sexual ways. This is your problem that oral sex is obscene for you. Even homosexual men and women want express their love in physical way. This is not harmfull.
It is obscene whatever way you look at it
Obscene is not harmfull. What is obscene is opinion.
Homosexuality is dirty and stupid form of loving between human beings. It is evidence of a mental perversation. It is not a human rights issue but a moral problem that must be sorted out.To call those who resist the practice as conservative is to be aplogetic to the cause of the problem.
No, it is not evidence. You have not basic knowledge of human(animal) sexuality and psychology. This conversation is over.
It is obscene indeed; can you imagine sperming into someone’s mouth! sleeping on a fellow man or that man sleeping with you doing sex?.musterbating?. Surely what would be the problem if one approaches a lady to do the actual thing and you both feel good about each other. What do you feel good about when musterbating and after it?.really! Does it convey some achievement?. I insist, this is a result of lonliness of some sort which makes one to try all sorts of things to please oneself without any serious purpose or some inferiorty complex of a man for ladies so that in that stituation he resorts to own sexual pleasures or between same sex persons who fear or have no access to the opposite sex so theu resort to these crazy things. Otherwise white ladies are real good and they love sex
‘Otherwise white ladies are real good and they love sex’ LOL – that’s all the proof we need that you are total ignoramus and a racist as well as a QUEEN sized homophobe!
As for your first 2 sentences — don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.
but what eles can one imagine of sexand since you talked of oral sex. don,t you sperm and when you do it into someone,s mouth as you ealier said, unless you are sperm defifient you will finish into ones mouth which is indeed obscene, it is what you had asked of what was the obscenity about your form of sex. There is nothing rasict here, indeed I am full of praise for them as hot sexually except that the male counterparts have looked the other way to be homosexuals instead of satisfying them sexually and it is why some are lesbians today while others have crossed to africa to get real natural sex
Ok, you are not ignorant. You are stupid. You think gay men/women afraid of opposite sex or have no access. Your objection is always different: 1)moral problem 2) no offspring 3) oral sex 4) anal sex 5) fear of opposite sex 6)no access to the opposite sex 7) health problem. You are stupid and bigot and you just need some reason for your hate. Good news for you: You don’t need a reason to hate. Just hate other people.
The next time it will be with horses dogs etc and you will claim it normal then who will be called stupid. I understand why yyou have broken down into becoming insulting. It is just because you have realised the extent you have perverted. Wgat you need is treatment and you become a normal fuctional man. You need to be a normal man not this clumsy irresponsible good for nothing fellow with no purpose of lfe. who just go around sperming around and into other people’s mouths and asses in the name of freedom for sex. eh! and claiming its gay rights!. It is just Stupid…Very very STUPID INDEED
Eresu – Im heterosexual man and I think homosexuality is normal. The majority of world accepted homosexuality. The majority of world and mainstream health organizations claims that homosexuality is ok. The longstanding consensus of research and clinical literature demonstrates that same-sex sexual and romantic attractions, feelings, and behaviors are normal and positive variations of human sexuality. But no…Eresu and Africa think homosexuality is bad, so gay is bad. By the way, horse and dog is not human being. Love among two women(human) and two men(human) is not like sex with dog(animal). You have not moral compass! You are disgusting.
Eresu,
All of your arguments can be clearly demonstrated to be complete nonsense.
1. Your particular religious document reflects the bronze-age bigotry of it’s writers and demands slavish obedience to an invisible sky-deity and his earthly “representatives” who have no more moral authority than any other group of conmen. Unless you eat no shellfish, do not work on the seventh day, do not use blended fabrics, stone people for adultery and believe women to be without rights, you have no right to talk about what is allowed by your book.
2. As a student of African history, I can tell you clearly, right now, that one of the biggest threats to Africa is population increase. Especially with current resource levels and statuses, it would be devastating if Africa’s population continues to increase. Overcrowding causes epidemic disease as well as increased crime and decreasing resources. The townships of Cape Town, South Africa are an excellent example. High levels of crowding lower the quality of services to almost nothing, crime is rampant, food security can be a little unstable, diseases such as HIV spread rapidly and crime is high. It is legitimately in Africa’s best interest to slow reproduction and particularly to delay the age at which women begin to have children. If they begin in their teens or early twenties, they often miss out on educational and vocational opportunities. Without these women in the workforce and government, Africa cannot stabilize. This is not an opinion. This is a fact.
3. Your knowledge of homosexuality is shaky at best and a complete farce at worse. The particular sexual practices of heterosexuals seem repugnant to me but that is why I don’t wish to have heterosexual contact. I don’t get to impose my “ick factor” on everyone else without good reason. You don’t either.
4. Homosexuality is not caused by a lack of exposure to the opposite sex, nor it is caused by fear. To believe otherwise is simply stupid.
5. If you really want to be concerned about health problems, you should ban all hetero sex and only allow lesbians to have sex. Lesbians have BY FAR the lowest disease transmission rates and pregnancy rates of any time of sex. Not only that but there is no evidence that there is significant risk associated monogamous gay male sex. Besides, if you wish to make an argument about HIV transmission, I will be forced to remind you that it is straight “god-fearing” men who are the biggest transmitters on the African continent. Overwhelmingly, HIV is transmitted by hetero sex or through breastfeeding or pregnancy.
6. By the way, female homosexuals exist too so there isn’t some dramatic imbalance of straight men to straight women.
7. There is a clear difference between gay sex and bestiality or pedophilia. Gay sex is primarily (with the exception of rape, something that is OVERWHELMINGLY heterosexual in Africa and the world) a consensual encounter between two adults. An animal cannot give consent and neither can a child. They cannot agree to sex. Two adults can.
Finally, if you don’t like gay sex, don’t have it. If you don’t like other people having gay sex, get off of your theocratic high horse and shut up. It’s none of your business. Any more questions?
Rma, I just pity you but I do understand why you write thia way; You are a victim of outadated mathusian theory. I challange you to tell me why China and India with its population did make a turn around in their development, Secondly. whether your Dad is a woman and your Mom is a man. Three, if the resources of Africa can best be utilised in the circumstances of under population
commomsense from europe, Thanks you are not a homosexual and I can imagine why you have chosen the option to be this way. The issue is, irrespective of the medical claims of the good from homosexuality, whether the practice is that which you, assuming you have children or have a wife or girlfriend, your parents you can feel good and happy to live with and think you are socially and morally fine!. Dy the way there is no problem for the west to continue with the practice, our exception to it is that the wert thinks we in Africa should adopt it as well. Why do you want it this way. This what we wany the west to understand because to us it is morally wrong to do it.And this is the message the RT, HON Speaker of Uganda parliament stated.We have our culture, norms, moral code of conduct and we value them and it is what makes us African. For yor info. Ive lived in europe and there are certain values we share but this does not mean we are the same.
My heterosexuality is not choice. When I was kid I was attracted to girls in my school. My gay brother as kid was attracted to boys. It was not choice. My and his feelings/attraction are not choice. Sexual orientation is not choice. You claim that homosexuality have negative effect for society but history and present and nature say it is not true.
The so called freedom in western societies is partly to blame for this perversion. I must confess that if that sitiuation of your brother had been in Africa all the neccessary corrective processes would have been taken when it was noticed so that your brother would be like you. These things happen and they have to be sorted because they are not the right way things should happen. Take it from me,Africa differs from the west on the way a family is looked at, how a child is brought up, what the institution of marriage means, what constitutes a home etc. These are values that make Africans still maintain what is called extended family unlike in the west where the family is almost non exsistent or little attachment is for it. It may be called outdated or backward, indeed it is diogtry to derogate it so. To us it is our strength and what is the future. Can you imagine calling the parents, aunties, sisters, uncles, frieds to your Gay marriage in Africa?. It would be like seeing Christ riding a bicycle, when indeed he lived when there were none.
Eresu said “have you ever heard of a race that went extinct on account of high poulation growth?.”.
You are obviously shamefully ignorant of history and nature. Throughout history there have been times of massive starvation and disease due to overpopulation depleating resources and waste overwhelming the land. This is part of a natural cycle that is well illustrated in looking at the population of wolfs and rabbits. The population of rabbits continues growing every year until it reaches a peak at about the end of seven years. At that time there are so many rabbits they eat all the available food and then because no where near enough food is available to feed them all they die off in massive numbers until there are few enough rabbits that the small amount of food still available can sustain them, the food can then regrow because their aren’t too many rabbits eating it and their population begins to grow again. The same thing happens with wolves. The start with a low population and as the rabbit population grows so does the wolf population because there is plenty of food for them. Then as the rabbits are too numerous for the food supply the rabbit population starts too decline and the high wolf population accelerates the decline in the number of rabbits and suddenly there are far too many wolves for the number of rabbits available and the wolves begin to starve in massive numbers until there are small numbers left that can be sustained by the shrunken population of rabbits. Humans are not immune from natural cycles. The same boom/bust population cycle has happened to us throughout history and will again. There is a finite amount of land for agriculture, there is a finite amount of fresh water and nature has a finite capacity to absorb and recyle human waste products. The earth has absolute limits and cannot support an unlimited population and if the population continues growing as it is a massive die-off of humans will happen.We still see this today, particularly in Africa. Every few years we see masses starving Africans on our televisions begging us for money and food because their own land can’t support the huge populations there. Its been this way 50 or 60 years and is only getting worse. You africans beg us for food and aid but yet you want to give nothing in return and all we ask is that you treat your own people decently and you won’t even do that.
Eresu said “Homosexuality is dirty and stupid form of loving between human beings. It is evidence of a mental perversation. It is not a human rights issue but a moral problem that must be sorted out.”.
There is no truth to that. Perhaps 80 or so scientific studies have shown that there is no difference in the mental health of gays and heterosexuals. Gayness in no way interferes with a person’s ability to live a healthy and happy life and so it is not a disorder. All the major medical and mental health organizations around the world agree that gayness is a normal, natural and healthy variant of human sexuality.
The only thing that is immoral is harming others. That you consider it dirty doesn’t make it immoral. Many people think a bowel movement is dirty but if you couldn’t do that you’d die so what is dirty is often not only moral, its a necessity of life. Gayness harms no one and is by definition moral. Ugandans like yourself seek to destroy gays thus your oppression of gays is by defintion immoral. It is Africans like you that are immoral, not gays. You seek to harm innocent people so this is an issue of human rights and you people are in the wrong.
Eseru said “I challange you to tell me why China and India with its population did make a turn around in their development,”.
Its misleading to say China and India have made a turn around in their development. A small segment of their populations are doing well but the vast majority of Indians and Chinese live in poverty and dire circumstances. In India half of its people live on less than $1 a day. 48% of the adult population and 62% of adult women are illiterate; women are severely discriminated against, 53% of children under five are malnourished; 71% have no access to sanitation; 37% have no access to safe water; and there are around 100 million child laborers. 20% of the world’s maternal deaths and 25% of its child deaths occur in India. Its a similar story in China with a small portion of the population being relatively wealthy while the vast majority of the population suffers in poverty. Large regions of overpopulation in China suffer degradation of land and resources, pollution, and detrimental living conditions. China has made some overall improvements in its standard of living but that has coincided with national efforts to reduce population growth such as a “one child per family” policy implemented in 1979 and a variety of other birth control and population control programs that have dramatically slowed its rate of growth. Chinese authorities say population control programs have prevented 400 million births between 1979 and 2011. Clearly the Chinese acknowledge the hard reality that the earth has limits to its resources and cannot sustain unlimited human populations.
Eresu said “Dy the way there is no problem for the west to continue with the practice, our exception to it is that the wert thinks we in Africa should adopt it as well. Why do you want it this way.”.
We don’t think you should “adopt” gayness and lesbianism, we recognize the reality that gays and lesbians have always existed in Africa and always will. Gays are born to heterosexual parents, a small percentage of the children of heterosexuals are gay, heterosexuals are never going to disappear and so neither are gays. Year after year and forever after there will be gays and lesbians born to heterosexual parents in Africa. Gays and lesbians harm no one, excessive African population growth harms Africa, there is no benefit to Africans from persecuting gays so the moral thing to do is “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” You wouldn’t want anyone trying to drive you from your homeland, beat, arrest, and execute your innocent self, so stop doing that to innocent gays and lesbians.
I assume you mean “Malthusian”. India and China have had economic booms centered around cheap labor and low-quality jobs. Slums and poor life expectancy are key features of that economic model. Both countries are currently trying to reduce rapid population expansion, raise the childbearing age and move into a more stable economic system. That’s the problem; for a little while, rapid expansion works but it ultimately collapses a system. It is visible in many natural environments but also with human populations. If you want a sustainable and stable economy and social system, birth rates need to remain steady and close to replacement level.
I have a father and a mother who have been married since they were in graduate school. I was born when my parents were thirty and I have always been on good terms with them both. I have had no traumatic childhood experiences that you can try to blame for my gayness and I have had plenty of opportunities to date boys, were I so inclined.
Africa is in no danger of underpopulation. Stabilizing the birth rate will not cause a population crash. Also, it IS easier to deal with resources successfully with a lower population. Africa as a continent would most likely be better off with a smaller and more educated population. It would improve food security and quality of services. Also, the greater stability in birthrate lessens crime and increases governmental stability.
I assume you are from Uganda. The big problem in Uganda is not homosexuality, it is religious zealotry. Abstinence-only sexual education, for example, has been demonstrated to increase the HIV transmission rate. That’s the problem with zealotry; it isn’t focused on careful analysis of the situation but on rabid fanaticism and denial of inconvenient facts.
Eseru said “Can you imagine calling the parents, aunties, sisters, uncles, frieds to your Gay marriage in Africa?. It would be like seeing Christ riding a bicycle, when indeed he lived when there were none.”.
How ironic that you should mention Jesus, the western white man’s god that the west forced on Africa just as 100 years ago the west forced on Africa its laws persecuting gays and lesbians. You complain about the West trying to push gayness on Africa when gayness has always been a part of African culture and heritage. You justify the rejection of a natural part of Africa by your acceptance of Western religion and anti-gayness that was forced on Africa and never a natural part of Africa. Such hypocrites you are.
China’s population growth is also bad on a global scale. At least now that they are also beginning to develop a somewhat wealthy middle class. Their industrial production is only at the level of some much, much smaller countries, yet they are already consuming so many resources that it has led to a global shortage and price increase in certain areas (such as some rare industrial metals where China also has a near monopoly on production). This is only going to get worse.
An African country that has an unsustainable large population growth in Nigeria. 150+ million now and growing at about 15-20 million every five years. 60% growth since 1990. Projected to be at 400 million in 2050. It’s absurd. And of course people are poor, uneducated and sick.
Ema,lynn and steve, what you need to know is that though the population of India and china are of low incomes the total levels of their repective demands are high to support industral growth. The development on account of cheap labour is a factor of a large labourforce, and this partly accounts for increased investment advantages compared to these other countries with low but high labour costs. Africa’s prime resource lies in its people and this must be protectes at all costs from sitiuations that will cause its self extiction and Gayism&Lasbianism is one way to extinct this population.The poor population of Africa is temporary.and this should not be a reason to enforce homosexuality to Africa and legitimise it. On the issue of thinking Uganda’s HIV prevalence is based on outdated religous beliefs is just not to know the facts. Be informed that there are more sick persons with HIV in western countries inclugind the United States than in Uganda. Just as I write there is reported measles, meningitis reported in the US. inspite of the advanced technology. Lynn, your asertion of homosexuality having exsisted for long in Africa is a factor of slavery and colonialism and the west wants it legistimised in Africa. And this is not a religous issue. May I inform that not all issues are religious when they are of moral naturure. There are moral issue which are premised on societal norms and cultures.For example, in certain societies marriage between cousins is possible while in most African societies it is taboo. By the way,you report yourself being gay, may I know if your parents were of this abnornal sexual orientation you would be here to be gay?.
What your country is trying to do is called genocide eresu. How is that moral?
