Homosexuality is neither genetically nor hormonally based, and according to President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, it is more hazardous than drugs. He made the call for its root cause to be identified. Dr. Wahome Ngare, a senior consultant and chairman of the Kenya Catholic Doctors’ Association, clarified the root causes of homosexuality, pointing out that broken families create homosexuals, who are children who are broken, rather than genetic or hormonal.
Some of the main causes of this practise, according to Ms. Sharon Slatter, president of Watch International and chairperson of the United Nations Family Caucus, are an abusive father, overprotective mothers, pornography addiction, sexual assault, or youngsters who were ridiculed and felt outcast. She continued by saying that the majority of kids in these groups grow to exhibit same-sex attraction.
The president commended the Ugandan Parliament for passing the anti-homosexuality law and vowed to never permit the promotion and publicization of homosexuality in Uganda, emphasising that it will never be accepted. He issued a warning to UN actors who are actively campaigning against the establishment of centres for the rehabilitation of gay victims.
African leaders were urged by President Museveni to warn all Heads of State about the risks posed by the post-Cotonou agreement. He referred to Article 88 of the new agreement, which establishes a super council of ministers from the ACP and EU with the authority to make binding decisions that supersede the original accords in the relevant groups, such as the ECOWAS, SADC, and the EAC. Additionally, he highlighted Articles 46.3 and 40, both of which advance concerns relating to sexual gender identification.
The president also promised Ms. Slatter that Uganda would not implement a comprehensive sex education programme, citing a verse from the Bible’s book of Ecclesiastics that says “there is a season for everything.”
In a letter to his Western political colleagues, President Museveni told them to stop lecturing Africans and wasting their time because colonialism had ended since the Organisation of African Union (OAU) was founded in Addis Abeba in 1963.
