Role of anti-gay U.S. evangelicals exposed in Uganda – The Independent
Last month, the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni finally signed his country’s controversial anti-gay bill into law, outlawing homosexuality and threatening offenders with up to 14 years in prison. Mr Museveni claimed the measure was “provoked by arrogant and careless western groups that are fond of coming into our schools and recruiting young children into homosexuality.”
Critics of the legislation say it is not homosexuality that has been imported from the West, but homophobia.
