President Yoweri Museveni has called on African nations to  take the lead in rejecting the promotion of homosexuality, describing the vice as a big threat and danger to the procreation of the human race.

“Africa should provide the lead to save the world from this degeneration and decadence which is really very dangerous for humanity. If people of opposite sex stop appreciating one another then how will the human race be propagated?” he asked.

President Museveni made these observations yesterday while interfacing with a delegation of Members of Parliament from over 22 African countries and the United Kingdom who had converged in Entebbe for a 2-day First ever Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family Values and Sovereignty that ran under the theme ‘Protecting African Culture and Family Values’.

 The delegation was led to State House Entebbe by Hon. Sarah Opendi, theTororo Woman MP and Chairperson of the Conference and also the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Forum on Family.

They called on President Museveni to thank him for his firm stand against homosexuality and to bring to his attention some of the African-Caribbean and Pacific -ACP/EU agreements that pose a threat and danger to the sovereignty of the Member States of the ACP.

He therefore ought the identification of the focal point of homosexuality as it is neither genetic nor hormonal.Dr. Wahome Ngare, a Senior Consultant and Chairman- Kenya Catholic Doctors’ Association clarified on the root causes of homosexuality.“So, broken families create homosexuals, they are children who are broken.They are not genetic or hormonal but psychological,” Dr. Wahome explained.Dr. Wahome further in his submission pointed out that this lifestyle is naturally sterile; it leads to increased demand in medical services, and it is not scientific.He further observed that homosexuality is not natural, it is not consistent with nature and culture as well as faith.
