[quote]Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has refused to approve a controversial Bill that would see homosexuals jailed for life, saying there were better ways to cure the "abnormality", a report said Friday.

In a letter to Parliament, the president said homosexuality was caused by either "random breeding" or a need to make money. And lesbians, he said, choose female partners because of "sexual starvation" and the failure to marry a man.

But he said the best cure for the condition was to improve the African nation's economy, the independent Daily Monitor newspaper said.

"The question at the core of the debate on homosexuality is what do we do with an abnormal person? Do we kill him/her? Do we imprison him/her? Or we do contain him/her?" the president was quoted as writing in a letter to Parliament.

"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practising homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons," he argued.

The anti-gay Bill cruised through the Ugandan Parliament last month after its architects agreed to drop a death penalty clause.

Although he has refused to sign off on the legislation, Museveni left little doubt that his homophobic outlook remained intact.[/quote]

[quote]Our reporter says Mr Museveni is trying to reach a compromise with MPs, because if he refuses to sign the bill, parliament can still force it through with a two-thirds vote.

But in contrast to Nigeria, where earlier this month the president signed a bill banning same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection, Mr Museveni is politically strong and so more able to resist pressure from conservative groups, she says.[/quote]

to be honest, this is actually pretty progressive considering this is the same country that the "eat the poo poo" video came from.

Which is obviously why no lesbian has ever turned down a horny guy desperate to marry her. Ever.

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a Ugandan court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the San Francisco underground. Today, still wanted by the ultrareligious right wing, they survive as soldiers of love. If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can accept them - maybe you can hire: The Gay Team.
