Uganda president signs anti-gay lawSummaryLast month Uganda's president signed a law that opposed gay relationships, such relationships were to be punishable by 14 years in prison. But if he is a repeat offender, he could spend the rest of his life in prison if he is a juvenile offender (including relationships with a minor, a disabled person or a partner with HIV). This bill was first proposed in 2009, but President Yoweri Museveni had his doubts; especially the lack of information on homosexuality President Museveni was looking for scientific information that could support the “homosexuality gene” theory. But also the pressure that Western countries have put on the nation, and this is due to the fact that the United States and Canada are some of the countries that provide development aid to the country, and by signing this bill, the nation will find itself face a lost situation. the help of these countries. However the theories were proven wrong and the conservative parties were concerned about the increase in same-sex couples, the President noted that he could no longer delay the law and that he had to make a decision. Last February 14 he signed the bill approving punishments against homosexuals and which, according to experts, opens the door to discrimination based on people's sexual orientation. OpinionAfrica is a continent that is trying to carve out a place for itself in the world. It has not developed as much as the rest of the world, to which it is connected; their history, the fact that the continent was used as a place to obtain all kinds of natural resources and, unfortunately, slaves. But over time Uganda has managed to evolve. Globalization impacts so many countries; there had been positive and negative results related to the int... middle of the paper... the idealistic idea of ​​everyone seeking true love. But simple because the world has changed, centuries ago the Greeks believed that perfection was in a male body, that male was a perfect culture and that relationships between two men were acceptable. Then times changed and homosexuals were persecuted and forced to hide. Now times are changing once again, but right now the world is divided between tolerance and discrimination. While African culture believes that people should control their impulses and have a “normal” life, Western culture believes in equality and acceptance of things we cannot control or change. I believe this “anti-gay” law is not a solution to a problem, it is just a legal way to accept discrimination against a subculture, allowing people to be subjected to bullying, violent acts against them and not being able to have freedom to choose your partners.
