Uganda's Minister for Ethics has announced that the country is banning 38 foreign NGO's for promoting homosexuality.
Simon Lokodo, a former Catholic priest, claims that the 38, and possibly more, use their alleged humanitarian agendas as a front to mask their more insidious true agenda, recruiting young Ugandans to the sins of Sodom.
"Homosexuality is illegal and unacceptable" said Lokodo, "it doesn't have any positive aspects at all. We condemn it very strongly."
He's not kidding about that part. The country's parliament has been debating a bill that would make promotion of homosexuality a capital offence, providing the death penalty for repeat offenders. That will in all likelihood be reduced to life in prison to stem the alarm of foreign aid donors.
This is of course very distressing to the Western do-gooders who run the myriad NGOs operating in Uganda. It's always a shock to discover that the beneficiaries of your philanthropy don't share your values.
But I'm betting they'll keep taking your money.
