Still on the Anti-g*y bill that was passed into law in Nigeria some couple of days back, the president of Uganda has refused to be a part of this by turning the law request down.
According to news reaching me, President Yoweri Museveni who is the president of Uganda has refused to sign into law an anti-g*y bill passed by the country's parliament, which is aimed at imprisoning not just hom0sexuals, but people who talk about it without condemning the lifestyle. The President in a letter to the Country's parliament speaker said hom0sexuals are 'abnormal' but could be 'rescued' by improving the economy.
The Ugandan anti-g*y bill seeks to make all form of hom0sexual activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law. Hom0sexuals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone who knows a hom0sexual and doesn't report such to police authorities would also face some sanctions if found wanting.
Whats your view on this?

According to President Yoweri Museveni, "Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing hom0sexuality or lesb1anism 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."In December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-g*y bill going against the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the hom0sexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.
