Press Statement
From Parents & Concerned Citizens of Uganda on Homosexuality in Schools
March 25, 2009
We the parents of Uganda have come together with a united voice to display our shock and dismay at the level of defilement, sexual harassment of our children in schools by homosexuals and lesbians.
Information that has reached us from several reliable sources that indicate the horror, frustration, mental and psychological torture that our innocent children are subjected to in schools as they are hunted by ruthless homosexuals who are supported and funded by various agencies in and outside Uganda.
We have reliably learnt from some former agents involved in recruiting our children into homosexuality and lesbianism how they recruit our unsuspecting children by taking advantage of them using deception, manipulation and coercion. These groups have a clear and long term strategy/plan to influence every sector of society and to impose their deviant values on the whole of society. Their philosophy is “If it is straight, at least you can bend it”
Our findings have revealed that the groups that are recruiting our children into homosexuality hide behind some human rights organizations such as Frontline Human Rights Organization to hide their sinister motives. We have also learnt that these groups targeting different interests and population groups are under the umbrella of SMUG, Sex Minorities Uganda. We learnt that one of the groups spends approximately 2,000,000/= per week to recruit our children from universities and schools in to homosexuality and lesbianism.
It has also been revealed that one of the effective tools used to break the resistance and defenses of our children is pornography which is shown to potential victims. We have learnt that the Amakula Film Festival makes and shows homosexual films across the country
We have come to learn that some of the organizations that fund homosexuality groups and activities are HIVOS and Ford Foundation. We have also come across a book meant for our school children that teaches that homosexuality and lesbianism is normal and equal to heterosexuality. Even deviant practices like anus sex is talked about in that book to our children.
We have shed tears as parents when we have heard of the sad story of an S1 boy who requested for pampers and blue band to take back with him to school after the holidays. It was later found out that he had been repeatedly raped by older boys in the school to the extent that he had now been damaged badly in his bottom. How many our children must be destroyed first before something is done about this pathetic situation?
All in all, it looks like the country has been invaded by forces of darkness and the land is being besieged by people determined to force us to accept something we know is against nature, our culture and our religious beliefs as a nation.
We therefore as the parents of Uganda are now united with one voice in saying that our patience has run out. We can no longer sit back and remain silent while our very precious children are being molested and destroyed by homosexuals and lesbians.
We realize that this is a matter that unites us all as parents regardless of our tribe, work, social status, political affiliation or religion.
We have therefore come with a united position and voice and wish to make a passionate appeal the following:
1.President and to the Government of Uganda to urgently take steps to rescue and protect our voiceless, vulnerable and defenseless from the onslaught of homosexuals and lesbians. [We wish to make a personal appeal to the President as a fellow parents to understand our feelings and emotions at this troubling time]
2.Government that those who are defiling and recruiting our children into homosexuality should be investigated and made to face the law of the land.
3.A commission of inquiry is established to assess the extent of the damage done to our children and to provide a confidential arrangement that can enable our abused and molested children to come out without being victimized and stigmatized. This should be done with parental input.
4.Ministry of Education & Sports that we want to have input in the sex education curriculum that our children are going to be taught in schools
We want to now call on all parents and concerned citizens to append their signatures to a formal petition that we are going to make to the President and government of Uganda which we will present through a peaceful demonstration.
More details will be communicated shortly.
We as parents will not rest and will not leave any stone unturned until our children are safeguarded from this vice that is destroying our country.
FOR GOD & MY COUNTRY
