So, if you’re gay and living abroad, things can get very dicey for you depending on where you’re living.
In Africa for example, they do not just want to stop homosexuality in their country, but they believe they can eradicate it from the entire world.
The Guardian reported that The Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, has called on African leaders to reject “the promotion of homosexuality”, suggesting he will sign into law a controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill, which was passed by parliament last month.
The bill, which imposes the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” and life imprisonment for “recruitment, promotion and funding” of same-sex “activities”, has been widely criticized internationally, with the UN high commissioner for human rights urging the president not to sign it.
Speaking on Sunday, Museveni said homosexuality was “a big threat and danger to the procreation of human race [sic]”.
He said: “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 [sic] stop appreciating one another then how will the human race be propagated?”
His comments followed a two-day inter-parliamentary conference held at State House in Entebbe on “family values and sovereignty”, attended by MPs and delegates from 22 African countries, including Zambia, Kenya and Sierra Leone. State House said British MPs had attended the conference, but was not able to name them.
The event was promoted by the Ugandan parliament, the African Bar Association and the Nigerian-based Foundation for African Cultural Heritage. Delegates could also attend the conference online, hosted by the US evangelical Christian organisation Family Watch International, which is defined as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a watchdog that monitors the far right. The president of Family Watch, Sharon Slater, who also chairs the UN Famil
y Rights Caucus lobby group, spoke at the event.
It’s interesting how the LGBTQ community will spend all of their time lashing out at Christians in this country for not baking cakes, but they have nothing to say about this?
Why don’t they get together and go to Africa and protest? We’ll see how "oppressive” they think the USA is when they return home.
