Kampala — Mukono diocesan bishop Eria Paul Luzinda has cautioned the government against legalising gay activities and described such culture as backward and non- indigenous.
Bishop Luzinda made the remarks last Wednesday while addressing students of Centenary Community College in Kayunga Sub-county.
The institution was set up by Mukono Diocese to equip students with vocational and technical skills. Gay activists last Wednesday stormed an HIV/Aids meeting attended by President Museveni in Kampala asking the government to consider them in the planning and prevention of HIV/Aids but were arrested by the police. "I have been hearing that gays are demanding that the government should legalise their activities. This is absurd because God created a man and woman so that they can produce and fill this world," Bishop Luzinda said.
"The government should not be tempted to legalise this backward culture which is bound to destroy this country." "Not all that comes from Europe is superior and must be taken up by us," Bishop Luzinda said. The bishop also urged parents to value technical and vocational education as one way of reducing unemployment levels in the country. He advised students to fully utilise their time at school if they are to have a bright and successful future. Bishop Luzinda commended the administration for renovating the school structures which he said had been neglected by the past administration.
The principal, the Rev George Kityo, criticised residents for refusing to take their children to the institution.

Sorry to say Luzinda and his followers are the backwards people of the world. God created straight men, and woman, but who do you think created Gays ...BINGO... you bet...GOD!Gay people are as indigenous as Luzinda's ancestors. Are they not also African. Don't they feel hurt, don't they love and care, don't they give? Shame on Luzinda for condemning human beings because they were born different from him. He is NOT Christian! Christ would never do or accept what he is advocating. Look in your heart... it is where God put God's laws in the last Covenant with man! Does your heart tell you to throw stones at others just because they were born differently? That's what many whites have done in America for a long time, and now you are asked by a Bishop to do the same? Time to find a Bishop who follows Jesus! These Gays are your children, blessed by God! Treat them as how you would like to be treated yourself. Luzinda will be judged just as he judges others.
God has reasons and plans for what's created. Perhaps it is because of "controlling overpopulation in the world, finding loving parents for all the abandoned children in the world" or what ever reason God has. Have faith in God's plan! Why not all work together to make Africa a wonderful strong nation, both Gays and Straight.
No one ever chooses to be Gay...who wants to live a life of condemnation and crucifiction? Be careful challenging God's plan...What you sow, so shall you reap! Be "discriminating" and you will be "discriminated" against! Accept and love, and you will be loved and accepted in return! Look at what's going on in the countries who sow bigiotry against Gays... I rest my case!
We are witnessing the result of entrenched homophobia. The state has made sexuality a crime punishable by imprisonment(death). Mukono diocesan bishop Eria Paul Luzinda is in direct conflict to the edicts of the Anglican Communion which states he is responsible to "lift up and champion the role of women, young people, indigenous communities and other marginalized groups to have full voice and representation in the official councils of the Church as a matter of justice". The world wide Christian Church is being done a mighty disservice by Bishop Luzinda. The Anglican community is committing social suicide by remaining silent and not raging at this injustice. Kelli Busey Radical inclusion for all in the world of faith.
