Let’s hope he’s practical enough to realize any foreign aid to Uganda will be cut off if this terrible legislation is signed. Sad to think that even human rights are connected to naked economic concerns.

Uganda president ‘won’t be pressured’ to sign anti-gay law

news.yahoo.com

“Homophobia is widespread in Uganda, where American-style evangelical Christianity is on the rise. Gay men and women in the country face frequent harassment and threats of violence, and rights activists have also reported cases of lesbians being subjected to “corrective” rapes.”

How about identifying these “christian” American groups who imported this shit to Uganda and cutting off all their tax exemptions for starters? They are peddling hate and death and should be condemned, not rewarded.

We won’t cut off military aid to Uganda over that law, I feel sure in saying. That nation’s soldiers are simply too important in peace-establishment elsewhere in Africa.

I agree it’s a horrible law and i’d cut non-military aid if it were enacted.
