Ugandan president calls on Africa to reject promotion of homosexuality

“Africa should provide the lead to save the world from this degeneration and decadence which is really very dangerous for humanity. If people of opposite sex stop appreciating one another then how will the human race be propagated?” he asked, according to an article dated April 2 and posted on his personal website.

Museveni was speaking to a delegation of Members of Parliament from over 22 African countries and the United Kingdom.

The MPs were in the East African country for a 2-day first ever Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values and Sovereignty that ran under the theme ‘Protecting African Culture and Family Values’.

The delegation led by a Ugandan MP, Sarah Opendi, during a courtesy call, thanked Museveni for his firm stand against homosexuality.

The Conference which was also attended by medical experts enlightened participants on the causes of homosexuality and possible remedies to the vice.

President Museveni noted that initially the practice that was thought to be a deviation from the normal is more dangerous than drugs. He therefore sought the identification of the focal point of homosexuality as it is neither genetic nor hormonal, a statement posted on his website noted.

Uganda’s parliament recently passed an anti-LGBTQ+ bill which is yet to be transmitted to the president for assent into law.

Museveni has stated his readiness to convene a meeting with lawmakers and take steps to sign it into law once he receives it. The legislation has roundly been criticized by development partners and the United Nations as draconian.
