If the people of Uganda are for pro antigay bill.the so call devil advocate nations and the people who are activisting and promoting evil plan will not stop tne wish of the people of Uganda. gay is a very old thing it has been in existence before christ,over two thousand years this evil spirit called gay has been fighting for tolerance by using deferent kind of people and nations, if gay is a goog spirit by now it could have been tolerated.i dont want to talk about the uniletral expoitative treaties . commonwealth agreement with UK means pro and neo-colonialism nothing good has ever come out of it .
The Bill also breaks the Articles of the Commonwealth, to which Uganda is a signatory. In May 2011, Musevengi signed the Commonwealth Affirmation that no-one would be discriminated against or persecuted/prosecuted because of their sexuality.I have written to the Secretary General of the Commonwealth asking for his views on the Bill and what he is prepared to do to stop it. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is head of the Commonwealth and anyone can write to her at Buckingham Palace, London, UK.
