Uganda: Parents Urged to Join Fight Against Gays

Mbarara — Parents should jointly work with the government in the fight against homosexuality that is taking root in society, a Mbarara cleric has said.

"In addition to the government laws, parents should strongly condemn acts of homosexuality because they live with the children," said Rev. Johnson Twinomujuni of the Uganda Bible Institute Mbarara.

He was on Tuesday speaking at a seminar for Rwanyamahembe Students Association in Kashari.

He appealed to the students, who are allegedly the target of the international pro-homosexual groups, never to accept to engage in the practice.

"There is money coming from those supporting homosexuality to schools. You must be ready to reject such offers," he said.

An anti-gay Bill was tabled in Parliament last year.
