From this statement, he has refused to sign anti-gay bill
into law:
"Even with
legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing
homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an
abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies,
on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people."
President Museveni said
In December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay
bill going against the President's
advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the
homosexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before
any laws against the practice be enacted.
The Ugandan anti-gay bill seeks to make all form of
homosexual activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law.
Homosexuals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone
who knows a homosexual and doesn't report such to police authorities would also
face some sanctions if found wanting.
