President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has issued a warning against campaigns in support of homosexual rights in the country.
In Uganda, homosexual acts are already prohibited.
The president termed gay rights as “nonsense” during remarks made on Wednesday at a graduation ceremony at the National Defence College.
He went on to say that he was relieved to have attended a recent meeting in the United States where gay rights were not raised.
The president said:
” Don’t bring any more nonsense here… We were in Washington, [and]this time the Americans organised the meeting well because they didn’t bring up these issues. They concentrated on business which was good. They didn’t bring up issues about homosexuality. But if they would have brought those we would have had problems.”
