What’s your view on gays and lesbians’ demand for their rights?

Published statements made by Ugandan citizens:
 

  • Ugandans are God-fearing people, so homosexuality has no room in our motherland Uganda. Richard Ojambo, Busia

  • Religion aside, historically, no culture accepts homosexuality and cannibalism. Those are human values. We should stick to them. Richard Musisi, MUK

  • Legalizing homos is like endorsing adultery or murder. While we can't legislate peoples' morals, neither should we just sit back and let social evil evolve into law. As a Christian I love homos but I hate homosexuality. Tom Mutete, Kampala

  • Whoever supports Homos should be admitted to hospitals, Qur'an and Bible talks about this. Guidance or counselling if at all any NGO can help our own brothers and sisters, God pardon them and show them that right path. Babu Umar, Lira

  • These gays and lesbians all over the world are unbelievable. In science we learn that same charges/poles repel as unlike ones attract. So?
    Bakora F.X, Entebbe

  • Why condone what God condemns? It is an abomination nothing less ( Lev 18: 22). Homos defile the land and bring God's punishment. Pastor Mathias Sserugo, Jinja

  • The order of nature starts with animals and gets refined at human level. Since you have not seen gay dogs or pigs, human gays are merely depraved. Ben

  • Gays and lesbians should realise that since they were born they are obliged to produce too. What should be demanded is help so as to lead normal lives. Lisbet

  • It is not good to treat gays and lesbians like non-Ugandans, let us develope our nation with these people. Julian Ann Kyambogo

  • The issue of rights should be streamlined otherwise murderers will soon also advocate for a right to kill. Amos Irota Wandera, Tororo

  • Am totally against this nonsense of homos and lesbians we cannot live when such inhuman beliefs, our morals will continue to decay. Desmond Kenyi, Arua

  • Perhaps your readers should get off their moral high horse and respect the autonomy of all of God's children. Simon B

  • Let the gays-lesbians speak so that the public is educated, recognition will follow we hate animosity. Bishop C. Senyonjo
