The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

While some changes in this bill are needed to protect and rehabilitate children and other vulnerable persons, the spirit of this legislation aligns entirely with the values and moral fabric of the Ugandan nation. Despite the pressure from imperialist powers that have wreaked havoc in the world for centuries and seek to impose their morals on Africans, the country's sovereignty will not be undermined.

Pro-establishment narrative

It's outrageous that some countries, such as Uganda, still promote the unscientific notion that homosexuality is a deviation 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 this sexual orientation is a Western import. Museveni should veto this bill in its entirety.
