Uganda: Gay Community
Cautious After Bill Thrown
Out
By Arne Doornebal
24 August 2011
The Ugandan cabinet has rejected the proposed 'antihomosexuality
bill' which would make homosexuality
punishable by death in some cases. But the gay
community fears the saga is not over yet.
"Yes it is true. The cabinet is totally against this bill,"
Minister for Local Government Adolf Mwesige told
RNW late on Tuesday by telephone.
According to Mwesige the 'anti-homosexuality bill'
which has been pending for almost two years now is
not necessary."The current laws in place are enough to
protect the country against homosexuality," he added.
"We can't say it is totally over," responds Long Jones,
one of the country's most prominent gay activists. "I
think this battle will only end once the Members of
Parliament throw it out," he says.
The anti-homosexuality bill was introduced by Member
of Parliament, David Bahati, in October 2009. Under
Bahati's proposed bill, 'serial offenders' of
homosexuality would be punishable by death. It would
also mean that people who fail to report homosexuals to
the police could face time in prison.
The draft bill attracted massive attention worldwide,
with countries threatening to cut aid if the bill went
through. Bahati yesterday reacted to the cabinet's
decision by saying that the law is the 'property of
parliament' and he would therefore continue to pursue
it.
Premature celebrations
Sam is involved in the 'queer youth Uganda' activists.
He laughs when asked whether he is happy with the
cabinet's decision.
"I remember how we celebrated earlier this year. It was
the last day of the previous parliament, so we thought
the bill would never become a reality once the new
parliament took over after the elections. But the first
thing the new parliament did was say that even laws
which were still pending would be considered."
Public opinion polls suggest that as much as 90 percent
of the Ugandan population opposes homosexuality. In
March this year, gay activist David Kato Kisule was
beaten to death in his home. According to the Ugandan
police, the murder was not linked to his activism,
despite the fact that two months earlier his photograph
had been published by a Ugandan newspaper under the
title 'hang them.'
Museveni decides
Bahati is supported by several Members of Parliament
who have told the media that they will pursue the bill,
regardless of the cabinet's stance on the matter. Both
Bahati and many of his supporters as Adolf Mwesige
belong to the ruling party, the NRM, which has an
absolute majority in parliament.
The last word on the fate of Bahati's bill will ultimately
rest with the NRM's leader, President Yoweri
Museveni. His signature is required before the passing
of any new laws.
President Museveni has repeatedly told party members
to 'go slow' on the anti-homosexuality bill, saying the
country has more pressing matters to deal with than
what people do in the bedroom.

establishment that is looking at a gay person as a
disempowered person, a person who has lost his job
from birth onward, and now society just wants to fire
him out of life. This is not justice. It’s not justice. It is a
terrible harm done to an energy that could save the
world that could save us. If, today, we are suffering
from a gradual ecological waste, this is simply because
the gatekeepers have been fired from their job. They
have been fired! They have nothing to do! And because
they have been fired, we accuse them for not doing
anything. This is not fair!
