US Republicans Ask Museveni to Halt Anti-Gay Bill
Seyi Oduyela/Washington, DC
Five Republican members of the US Congress have urged Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni to halt a new law which proposes to imprison and even execute people for homosexual acts.In a letter, Chris Smith, Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts, Trent Franks and Anh ‘Joseph’ Cao ask the Ugandan president to oppose the legislation currently going through parliament. The five Christian politicians who sit on the Human Rights Commission in the US House of Representatives, oppose gay marriage. However in the letter, they say their faith compels them to oppose the legislation as it contradicts the Christian belief in the dignity and worth of all men and women. The proposed law has attracted international criticism.

It is okay for US and EU to dictate to Africans but not the other way round. In the Western hemisphere, it is acceptable to be gay and theyt even promote it but as far as they are concerned, polygamy is a crime.
Let them leave us Africans alone; we are not so stupid that we can’t run our affairs.
