Uganda is facing an exodus of its gay population if the country
presses ahead with a controversial bill that allows life imprisonment
for homosexuality.
Gay activists in the country believe that large numbers of Ugandan
gays will flee if President Yoweri Museveni fails to veto the bill,
which could otherwise become law by the end of next week.
The Ugandan leader has been urged by Britain and other Westerns
nations to block the bill, but is under pressure from conservatives in
his parliament, which voted by a majority in favour of it in December.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Frank Mugisha, a leading Ugandan
gay activist, said that hostility to gays in Uganda had increased
since the vote, and that many would leave the country altogether if Mr
Museveni failed to exercise his veto. Britain, which ran Ghana as a
protectorate until 1962, would be an obvious destination to seek
asylum in, both because of its colonial links and its reputation as a
liberal country for gays to live in.
Mr Mugisha, who was speaking during a visit to London to lobby the
Foreign Office on the matter, said: "The British government should be
acting more and talking to our politicians more about the bill. If it
is passed there will definitely be consequences for Uganda. Countries
like Britain and US will get many Ugandan asylum seekers."

Museveni a pris la décision après le rapport des médecins:
l'homosexualité n'est pas génétique mais un comportement social!!!
