You People Are Sick - Max Gaddis

Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni, has not signed a bill that punishes homosexuals for homosexual acts, but the country is also no closer to civil rights for the LGBT community. He won't sign saying that the people are "sick" not criminals, and that they need mental help, not time in prison. The bill was first passed in 2009, but european countries threatened to withdraw aid they had been giving to Uganda if the president signed the bill. The president also believes that it is not a major concern for his country right now. The bill states that it will also condemn people who reach out to anyone from the LGBT community. Homosexuality is illegal in many African countries, and in Uganda, homosexual acts can get up to 14 years in prison. Lawmakers say that western influence is deteriorating and degrading the African culture, way of life, and family views. Parliament is in recess at the moment and will begin again on February 18th.

I think this actually quite funny. They are saying that Western influence is corrupting their way of life, but they depend so much on the europeans, who worship western culture.  I will wait and see what the president decides.
