Gays to end civilisation as we know it
Buturo
Gays are trying to end civilisation as we know it, claims a Uganda Minister
"It is an attempt to end civilisation. It is that serious"
Doctor James Nsaba Buturo, Uganda’s Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity, is calling for stricter laws to prosecute gays and lesbians.
"Who's going to occupy Uganda twenty years from now if we all become homosexuals,” Buturo has asked at a press conference. “We know that homosexuals don't reproduce.
"There is now a globalisation of homosexuality and people in Uganda are attempting to take advantage of the globalisation. It is an attempt to end civilisation. It is that serious."
“The state of moral health in our nation is challenging and we are concerned about the mushrooming of lesbianism and homosexuality. Ten years ago, this phenomena [sic] was not there, but the disease has penetrated everywhere,” he said.
“It is true that the law on homosexuality is not comprehensive and that the criminals just walk away and police find it difficult to prosecute. We need to address this gap.
“We want it to become law in that if someone is a homosexual or confesses to being gay or lesbian, then he is a criminal.”
Section 140 of the Ugandan Penal Code currently criminalises anyone who is gay or lesbian and has “carnal knowledge against the order of nature” with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
