The Ugandan President Juggles the Anti-Homosexuality Ball

[sheshe2]

It would seem that the President, poised to sign a week ago, may have put the anti-gay legislation on hold, while he supposedly seeks further input from American scientists, on whether homosexuality is inborn or a vice. According to Museveni’s statement, he wants the U.S. government to work with Uganda’s scientific community. But this may all be lip service and political shenanigans, all part of the delicate balancing act that has gone on for years, as the Bill can indeed pass without anything from the President at all. Yet he is using his time to play ball.

This is a turnabout after Museveni told NRM members at a retreat that he would approve the legislation, after he received their report by Ugandan professionals, prompting criticism from US President Barack Obama, and others. The US warned that the move would “complicate” relations with Uganda, to which it gives more than 400 million dollars in aid annually. This latest move by Museveni seems to be a direct response to President Obama’s statement, and although it may be seen by some as counter productive, it may well have put a hold on Museveni’s assent to the Bill.

More than 25,000 people in the UK have written to Museveni via Amnesty International’s website, urging him to veto the bill. Gemma Houldey, Amnesty’s Uganda researcher, said: “This deeply offensive piece of legislation is an affront to the human rights of all Ugandans and should never have got this far.”

If the Bill passes, many organizations will have to shut down, people with HIV/AIDS will be driven underground, and it is believed the persecution of gays, lesbians, transgender, bisexual and intersex people will increase dramatically.

In the meantime local LGBTI people have hunkered down, expecting the worse, with many scrambling to leave the country, as they prepare for the pending holocaust which the Bill in effect may bring about. Some have been evicted, kicked out of home, unable to work and are desperately seeking shelter and food. Lokodo has his hunt the gays hit list and is ready to strike. Museveni has said that he is declaring War on the World gays and we must take his remarks at face value. The local Ugandan gays, need urgent help and there is very little available, with reports that those who are not considered human rights defenders are the last to receive attention or help. Many have reached out to me and I have started a Rescue Fund to provide direct help to all kuchus, which can be found here: – http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rescue-fund-to-help-lgbt-people-escape-africa/x/6400968 .
