Obama and Clinton should not shove homosexuality down our throats

President Obama and Hilary Clinton should not kill the homosexuality debate in Uganda by making endless phone calls threatening our president when they also don't believe in this awkward behavior.Under Reagan administration, some of his people had strong anti-homosexuality feelings. Homos were believed to be the major spreaders of HIV/AIDS in USA.That's why Bush senior proposed mandatory testing of homos when he was still VP to Reagan. Actually, Bush implemented mandatory HIV testing in some govt institutions when he later became the president.Some of Reagan's friends were anti-homo but at least they were allowed to express themselves.Let Ugandans also be allowed to express themselves freely without any foreign intervention.

Sexual orientation is “behavior”, since one can be lesbian or gay and later decide to sleep with the opposite sex. Homosexuality isn't a completely self defeating mutation. Homosexuals can in fact reproduce. They just don't like it. Some become active homosexuals after reproducing, some before. There is also no conclusive scientific evidence that homosexuality is a natural thing.

My argument about Africa is that these things are not generally part of us despite the fact that there was an element of this behavior among some people in our history. Even up to now, most white people are forced by the law or 'liberalism' to accept homos in their society but they privately don't support them.For instance,Hilary opposed same sex unions in Newyork and it was an issue during her campaigns in NY as a senator.She later backed out of it because it was damaging her campaign but she did not support this behavior at first. I remember Hilary saying that she would have voted for the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 because marriage “has always been between a man and a woman.” This legislation was signed into law by her husband(Bill Clinton) and it denies federal recognition of same-sex “marriage” and allows states to ignore those licensed elsewhere. I also read somewhere that it's illegal to be gay in Texas though im not so sure how the law is now.So why is Clinton forcing homos down our throats if she herself found it a weird behavior.

Homosexuality used to be treated as a mental illness in the USA and Britain throughout the 1970s and 1980s and doctors used to use a method called “aversion” therapy to help these people. The World Health Organization only removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses in 1992. So you can understand why even the people in the west were so rigid about this 'LIFE STYLE' till when it got out of control. We should not let this situation get out of control in Uganda or Africa.

I'm surprised that some Ugandans would not feel let down when their son or daughter comes to them and say that they are gay. I don't know whether people in this category are trying to be politicians or not because its politicians who make such statements in public yet privately say different things. Anyway, just to let them know, homo marriages end up encouraging off-springs to also become gay or lesbian. For instance,the new study by two University of Southern California sociologists said that children with lesbian or gay parents show more empathy for social diversity, are less confined by gender stereotypes, and are probably more likely to explore homosexual activity themselves.

Lastly,all religions condemn homosexuality.It may have existed before religions but it does not make it right,does it?By the way,I have no problem with homosexuality as long as it isn't pushed into the public domain or them(homos) start asking for special rights in Africa.I also don't support the proposed death penalty to homos since they are not hurting anyone.As long as they keep their behavior to themselves or make attempts to bring it in schools as we have been reading in newspapers then it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, I feel the same way about a heterosexual couple having sex in public though the later is natural.
