In Summary
President accuses Parliament of breaking the law by passing the Bill without quorum.
Parliament- President Museveni has confronted Speaker Rebecca Kadaga for passing the controversial Anti-gays Bill without quorum and described homosexuals as “abnormal” beings who can be “rescued” through economic empowerment.
In an eight-page letter to Speaker and MPs dated December 28, 2013, the President said he was forced to contrite on the issue by “a small group of our MPs, led by Hon Kadaga” who forced through the Bill even after he had advised to shelve it until the government had studied it in depth.

“Some elements, however, insisted and even without
quorum of Parliament, passed it,” the President said. “How can you pass
law without the quorum of Parliament after it has been pointed out?
What sort of Parliament is this? How can Parliament be the one to break
the Constitution and the Law repeatedly?”
But Parliament spokesperson Helen Kawesa yesterday
said if there was no quorum, “that can be established by the relevant
bodies in Parliament,” adding that several Bills were passed between
October and December last year, and with similar numbers in the House.
The President said a homosexual is somebody who is
abnormal because the normal person was created to be attracted to the
opposite sex in order to procreate and perpetuate the human race. He
said, nature goes wrong in a minority of cases.
While in the Bill passed by Parliament there is no
provision for killing homosexuals; the President said, “The question at
the core of the debate of homosexuality is; what do we do with an
abnormal person? Do we kill him/her? Do we imprison him/her? Or we do
contain him/her?”
While the President said homosexuality is an abnormal condition that can be cured, he disagreed with the position of Western countries that homosexuality is an “alternative sexual orientation”. “You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people,” he said, adding that his acid test for rejecting Western position is that nature is purposeful.

The President said apart from the people who are
abnormal, it seems there is a group of those that become homosexual for
“mercenary reasons”—they get recruited on account of financial
inducements. He said this is a group that can be rescued and that many
of the youth fall in this category.
As for lesbians, the President said apart from
those born abnormal and those ones that may become lesbian for mercenary
reasons, there may be those that go into the practice because of
“sexual starvation” when they fail to get married.
The President said the rescue for homosexuals is
first and foremost, economic, focusing on rapidly industrialised Uganda,
modernisation of agriculture etc. By delaying government projects
needed to create jobs for the unemployed youth, the President said the
MPs are exposing the unemployed youth or “impecunious students” to the
risks of homosexuality and other temptations.
“Even with legislation, they will simply go
underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for
mercenary reasons,” he said.
The President said he would support a life sentence for one who lures normal youth into “these disgusting behaviours” – especially homosexuality. He said the NRM Caucus will find a scientifically correct position on the proposed anti-gay legislation.

Background
In December 2013, Parliament passed the Bill which
criminalises sexual intercourse between same-sex partners. The
legislation provides for a sentence of life imprisonment for anyone
convicted of homosexuality, which covers gays and lesbians.
Gays and lesbians were listed as homosexuals by the Bill. A proposal to put the punishment to 14 years in jail was rejected by the House.
He said homosexuality is rooted in an
interpretation of human freedom that glorifies the finite nature of
human person within which such freedom is to be exercised.

KAMPALA-Religious leaders have asked President Museveni to quickly assent to the recently passed Anti-Homosexuality Bill, just like his Nigerian counterpart Goodluck Jonathan did recently.
However, the leaders’ call came on the same day it
was revealed that the President has written to the Speaker of
Parliament, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, rejecting the proposed law and asking for
it to be reconsidered by MPs.
After more than two years of on-and-off debate,
Parliament last year passed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, spelling out
life sentences for anyone convicted of homosexuality.
Gays and lesbians were listed as homosexuals by the Bill. A proposal to put the punishment to 14 years in jail was rejected by the House.
“Once again, we thank Parliament for passing the
Bill and urge His Excellency the President, just like his colleague in
Nigeria, to assent to the Bill,” said the religious leaders in their
joint message to the President yesterday.
In the statement read by Metropolitan Jonah
Lwanga, the chairperson Council of Presidents, Inter-Religious Council
of Uganda, the religious leaders expressed shock at attempts by some
Ugandans, including highly placed persons in government, to overturn the
Bill.
“As religious leaders, we condemn any form of
discrimination against any gay persons, but we consider homosexuality
part of human weakness and sinfulness that must be dealt with at a
personal level through repentance,” Metropolitan
Lwanga said.
