This is really unbelievable in this day and age. Do the people in Uganda think that are still in the dark ages. One is born gay – not made gay.

Thats one bogus claim ! There is absolutely no CREDIBLE scientific evidence to support that nonsensical assertion. There is no gay gene. If rejecting a highly dangerous sexual lifestyle —-which renders one susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS and stranger diseases such as rectal gonorrhea—-makes us backward in the Western-centric eyes,then we prefer to be citizens of a nation “in the dark ages”. BTW, when will the UK and USA lift their ban on gays donating their risky blood to hospitals? I mean they have to lift the ban so that they would be in the “enlightened age”—Right?

The Ugandans are polite, well-educated and hard-working people.

At least we agree on this

Please folks EVERYONE has a right to live their lives the way THEY want to and should not be told how to live. This is the 21st century !!!!

That is your own opinion. Every nation has right to regulate certain types of human behaviour. Germany, Austria and Czech Republic have their legal restrictions on freedom of expression with regards to the Holocaust. Most Western nations criminalize consenting polygamists in the name of fighting bigamy. In Uganda and most of Africa, gay acts is a criminal offence.

A judge in Uganda has ordered the local Rolling Stone newspaper to stop publishing the names and photographs of people it says are homosexual. The judge granted a request by gay rights group Sexual Minorities Uganda (Smug). The group says some homosexual people were attacked after a previous issue.

Homosexual acts are illegal in Uganda but last year an MP introduced a bill which would mean some gay people could face the death penalty. Giles Muhame, editor of the two-month-old Rolling Stone paper, told the AFP news agency that he would defy the ban.

“We will publish more pictures but in a diplomatic way, so that we can dodge the law,” he said. He says he is trying to protect Ugandans from those seeking to “recruit children to homosexuality”.
