Anti-gay Bill: Museveni lauds MPs for 'rejecting pressure from imperialists'
MonitorApr 21, 2023
Ugandan Pres. Yoweri Museveni on Sunday approved the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, which makes "engaging in acts of homosexuality" an offense punishable with life imprisonment.
The law does not criminalize identifying as LGBTQ+ but imposes the death penalty on anyone found guilty of "aggravated homosexuality" and up to seven years in prison for "attempted homosexuality."
The spirit of the anti-homosexuality legislation aligns entirely with Uganda's values and moral fabric. Despite the pressure from imperialist powers, which have wreaked havoc in the world for centuries in seeking to impose their ideologies on Africans, the country's sovereignty will not be undermined.
It's outrageous that Uganda still promotes the totally ludicrous notion that homosexuality deviates from human nature, even engaging in un-African, state-sponsored homophobia. Same-sex relationships have long been reported in the continent, debunking the fabricated narrative that homosexuality is a Western import.
There's a 50% chance that at least 21% of the world population will be living in countries where same-sex marriage is legal in 2032, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
