Kampala — One Sunday morning, I was going to church when I met a lady who was so skimply dressed, one would think she was a sex worker. I initiated a conversation with her, only to find out, she was going to church.
I sarcastically told her she was smart and God would hear her prayers, but not those of the people who were going to sit near her. To my surprise, the lady responded with a verbal tirade: "It is my right to dress the way I want. Who made you judge over those whose prayers God answers?" she shouted.
This whole concept of human rights grates my nerves. It has made people un-african, mean and self-centered.
One can now shamelessly stand up and tell you: "I do as I please. You have no business in my affairs." A sodomist can now swear to you that what they do in the privacy of their bedroom does not concern the public.
No wonder when a brilliant MP comes up with a Bill against homosexuality, the human rights activists baptise him an enemy of the people.
It is high time politicians, religious leaders, cultural leaders and all concerned Africans woke up and defended the African heritage against the moral confusion of Western civilisation. This civilisation is eroding African moral pride.
The so-called human rights activists have hijacked the driver's seat and are sending nations into the sea of permissiveness in which the Western world has already drowned.
Every evil that has penetrated our society comes disguised as a human right and is watered by a group of elites who have attained education in the West. These elites have come back to impose on us practices that our forefathers deemed abominable.
You find them holding conferences in five-star hotels and lecture rooms delivering speeches aimed at breaking marriages in the name of human rights activism.
These activists force their unsuspecting disciples into believing that everything the West does is right. That is why they always refer to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
When the world gets compressed into a small global village in the name of globalisation, it does not mean that the African should throw away what belongs to him.
Not every human right is a right, and not every right is a human right. As Africans, we should defend our heritage even when human rights activists are misleading our society.

With attitudes like this, is it any wonder that Africa is forever steeped in disease, desolation and death.
Stay Classy Uganda!
If this filthy legislation passes, Uganda will have joined the likes of Hitler's Germany and Kim's North Korea. If you support this bill, you are a monster. Take your savagely twisted perversion of Christ's loving message and shove it.
This 'pan-africanist' should really learn to shut up.
Without human rights he and his family will still be loaded on Slave ships to be sold as cattle to Plantation owners and other exploiters.
Only the widening and deepening of the concept of Human Rights can assure that Africa lifts itself from the quagmire of chaos, war and misery it's been drowning since the start of de-colonization and reach a higher level of prosperity and peace like the one already reached in the Western countries where EVERYONE DOES AS HE PLEASES!!!!!!
I don't hear of guerrilla war, ethnic murders, mass rapes, witch hunts and albino killing in Sweden, Holland, Germany or Denmark.
Why don't people understand this simple article? Even a fool wouldn't call sodomy a human right! Like the title goes; NOT EVERY HUMAN RIGHT IS RIGHT! People would even commit murder in the name of rights if all rights were right! How can you say reversing God's order is your right?In fact, I was kind enough to call them human rights, the best title should have been "NOT EVERY RIGHT IS A HUMAN RIGHT" because some of the so called human rights are actually not for humans, not even for animals...Imagine sodomy!
Sure, talk to me abut the civilization of Africa! If only you guys had the decency to stand on your own and bring something to the world. Now, take a good look at yourself, you communicate in English, your education is western and probably so is your costume. I found it funny to see advertisements for hungry African children by the side of your article as well. Tells volumes! Learn to live with people that are different, this is what life is all about, instead of posing yourself as a self-righteous moron.
