“Homosexuality is not natural for Ugandans, but there has been massive conscription of gays in schools, especially among young people, where they promote false notion that people are born that way,” declared the country's minister for ethics and integrity, Simon Lokodo.
Our current criminal law is limited. He only criminalizes the act. We want to make it clear to anyone involved in promoting and recruiting the gays that it will criminalize. Those who commit such acts will be sentenced to death. ”
