President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has signed into law a wide-reaching bill that punishes anyone of an alternative sexual orientation (i.e., non-heterosexual) with life imprisonment.
All prevailing credible scientific data indicates that sexual orientation is a natural and inborn characteristic. Criminalizing it in any manner is akin to criminalizing race, and is a blatant violation of human rights.
The United States should immediately cut all monetary foreign aid to Uganda. According to historical figures, we have provided nearly $500 million dollars to the nation per year for the past several years. Until Uganda repeals this ugly law, that aid should be stopped!
