President Museveni of Uganda continues his assault on the Ugandan LGBTI community by praising the Anglican church in Uganda for “resisting homosexuality” and for this he is happy to give Bishops presents of cars “since walking is outdated”………

“I salute the Archbishop and bishops of Africa for resisting disorientation and a decadent culture, which he said was being passed by Western nations.”

Describing homosexuality as mtumbavu (Swahili for stupid), the President said: “Don’t fear, resist and do not compromise on that. It is a danger not only to the believers but to the whole of Africa. It is bad if our children become complacent and think that people who are not in order are alright.”

Gay Uganda responds with an open letter “I am not a foreigner and I am not white”…

For the beloved leader of my country to deny my birthright as a Ugandan, and demonise me, just because I am homosexual is something which hurts me a lot. For His Excellency the President, despite the wealth of advice that is at his hands, to do this from ignorance of what homosexuality is, that, again, is deeply disturbing.
