President Obama has given President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda a veiled threat of a reduction in aid should the President enact a law prohibiting the promotion of homosexuality, reports Fox News.
President Obama warned Uganda on Sunday that its plans to clamp down on proselytisation by homosexuals would “complicate our valued relationship.”
Obama maintained that the United States stands for ‘the protection of fundamental freedoms and universal human rights’ and ‘believes people everywhere should be treated equally’.
“That is why I am so deeply disappointed that Uganda will shortly enact legislation that would criminalize homosexuality,” Obama said in a written statement issued from Southern California, where he was spending the weekend. “The Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda, once law, will be more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in Uganda. It will be a step backward for all Ugandans and reflect poorly on Uganda’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people. It also will mark a serious setback for all those around the world who share a commitment to freedom, justice and equal rights.
“Enacting this legislation will complicate our valued relationship with Uganda,” he added.
President Museveni said last week that he plans to sign the new legislation, which also prescribes life imprisonment for acts of “aggravated homosexuality.” Those acts are defined as sex acts where one of the partners is infected with HIV, sex with minors or the disabled and repeated sexual offenses among consenting adults.
Uganda has been heavily targeted by Western homosexuals both in sex tourism and with cultural pressure.
Ugandan lawmakers passed the Bill in December. It enjoys broad support among Christian clerics and lawmakers who say it is needed to deter Western homosexuals from ‘recruiting’ Ugandan children.
It is also needed to curtail the pro-homosexual activities of a raft of foreign agencies, including the Open Society, funded by billionaire George Soros, which now has an office in Kampala, the American Ford Foundation, the Dutch humanist organisation HIVOS and North American and European government aid departments.
DONOR
The United States is Uganda’s largest donor, sending more than $400 million in aid annually in recent years. If Museveni signs the bill, the U.S. is expected to find ways to register disappointment over the law by withdrawing some or all of that aid.
Nigeria last month increased penalties against unnatural acts.
Obama supports same-sex marriage and his administration eliminated the Clinton-era ban on openly gay service in the military.
For his State of the Union address last month, Obama sat openly-homosexual basketball player Jason Collins with first lady Michelle Obama.
Obama has also complained about a Russian law banning gay propaganda, and made sure prominent homosexual athletes were on the U.S. delegations to the Sochi Olympics.
Prayer has been mobilised across Uganda and in next-door Kenya, where minister Simon MacOnyango said:
‘The Church (The Body of Christ) should keep Uganda in prayers so that President Yoweri Museveni will resist this external pressure and make the right choice for the people of Uganda. Why should President Obama use his countrymen’s taxes to dangle a carrot to promote sin in another sovereign nation?’

If the problem is the targeting of children by wealthy westerners, why not criminalise sex with persons (of either sex) who are underage? Doesn’t such legislation already exist in Uganda?
I don’t see what is gained by criminalising consensual homosexuality between adults. The law would be unenforceable, and surely it would make more sense to criminalise things like adultery, fornication, etc. first?
Simple. The law states that a certain activity should not happen. I agree that if homosexuals just did what they did in private they would never come before the courts, but homosexual life just is not like that. There is an inner drive to make anonymous sexual contacts out of doors. The whole point of what started as David Bahati’s Bill was to criminalise homosexual propaganda and proselytisation as well as aggravated sodomy and by all of that to put Uganda off-limits to Western homosexuals and those who agitate for their supposed ‘rights’.
Well done BO . What’s next ? How about promoting/legalising bestiality and paedophilia? You have already done most of the liberalization on bestiality in your country!
As well as being the self appointed policeman overthrowing regimes it doesn’t like, is America now the policeman of the new progressive “morality” embraced by it and the western world. Why should a country throw away its Biblical stance for US aid (30 pieces of silver). Stand firm Uganda and Nigeria. America is no example of a perfect society no wonder Islam is making such strides there.
Have to agree with David above. I’m an American who would not be surprised if bestiality and pedophilia promotion are not far behind. I have no info on those subjects…just my opinion.
Well said, David.
“Why should President Obama use his countrymen’s taxes to dangle a carrot to promote sin in another sovereign nation?’”
Actions speak louder than words: Obama is a closet sodomite.
To me, this latest development holds even greater significance in light of your previous article on how this godly leader made a deliberate confession of and repentance for the National sins of Uganda:
“President Museveni dedicates Uganda to God” – https://www.christianvoice.org.uk/index.php/president-museveni-dedicates-uganda-to-god/
I am truly regretful that our current American President is doing exactly the opposite here at home, and also abroad.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Steve in Idaho
It would be hard for Uganda to walk away from that money.
But hopefully they will realize…the cost to themselves (and ESPECIALLY to their young) is in lots of self and other destruction.
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of The Lord, my prayer is for President Yoweri Museveni to fear The Lord and not fallible man. I pray that Almighty God would give President Yoweri Museveni boldness to stand against this wicked agenda pushed by evil powers. My prayer is also for God to bless Uganda if they stand for righteousness even if Present Obama threatens to withdraw their financial support.
It is foolish for some one to support same sex marriage, this is against the will and purpose of God with human beings. The reason beyond the understanding is that” God could have joined the marriage in the earlier age of Adam and Eve. It is a curse for just a man to marry another man, remember the end time for the Christ to appear is just at the Corner. 1 John 4:1-4 Mathew 24:23-28. If Obama plans to dissolute the beautiful universe of God, he has no breath for any one by God’s word of power lets all say” may curses and death befall on him amen”
Meanwhile Obama continues to fund Islamic nations like Pakistan which has opressive anti Christian ‘blasphemy’ laws and also to arm Islamic militants in Syria.
Take a look at that single sentence quote from Obama that Obama the United States stands for ‘the protection of fundamental freedoms and universal human rights’ and ‘believes people everywhere should be treated equally’.
Now ask yourself who (or what) this all-encompassing inclusivity means, in light of the West’s hostility to Russia’s anti-gay propaganda law. That law is essentially designed to protect minors from sexualisation and grooming by predatory homosexuals, both prerequisites of the Cultural Marxist agenda as espoused by the Frankfurt School, designed to degrade and destroy Western Christian-based culture.
It’s no accident that the European Union is considering giving legal rights to paedophiles at the at the same time as gUS Government-sponsored psychologists have declared that paedophilia is a sexual orientation in its own right. So, just as with the move to legitimise and legalise homosexual marriage, the Anglo-American paedo-protection movement is working to the same timetable. It’s constantly stated by homosexuals and their defenders that homosexuality is not related to paedophilia, but the facts belie this. American and European radical homosexual groups have long demanded both the lowering, and even the abolition, of the age of sexual consent. Why would they even demand this if children were not their target. These vociferously degenerate homosexuals even have a cold, dehumanising name for these children, it’s ‘fresh meat’.
So the promotion of homosexual rights and equality is the first stepping stone to paedophile rights and equality. By the attempts at interference of Russia’s and Nigeria’s internal affairs, Obama is declaring that the right to sodomise both adults and children is equal to the right of heterosexuals to fornicate. This is the equality of treatment to which he refers, fully and dutifully supported by his co-conspirators, the degenerate, Satanic rulers that currently control the West.

Who made Obama the policeman of the world. Let him face the problem USA’s failing economic growth and provide jobs to million of jobless Americans. Is it no a paradox to dangle a carrot to sovereign nation in exchange for the promotion of sodomy? Is this not the last most visible sign that we have actually come to the end of all things as predicted in the Bible? Would God not apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah whose nations were overthrown when fire fell from the sky instead of rain and destroyed everything, because of their homosexual practice, which is being promoted by Obama? Those nations had no Bible, no Bible schools, no sound preachers, no mass media to reach every soul, yet they were destroyed because of their wicked practices. Its time for African countries learn to be independent than to be enslaved to western countries, who try to dictate how they are ruled. Lets raise up prayers to God, to strength Ugandan president to sign the bill into law, he has the backing of the Almighty, who alone has the ultimate power. He can send rain and sun shine upon us and has never threatened nations that oppose his moral teachings in the Bible, but satan and his agents will always threaten you, if you do not bound down to worship him. The nations of Uganda and Nigeria are only upholding the teachings of the Bible and whoever dares them dares God. God clearly warns against this practice as contain in Roman 1:18-32
There he goes again interfering. Where does he go with his “LAND OF THE FREE” when he wheels a big stick at the oppressed. Mind your own business and look after your own world.
many people consider Obama to be the antichrist and it does seem that he” acts like a lamb but speaks as a dragon ”
may i urge brothers and sisters to sign the petition and be ready to stand with Uganda by not just praying for them but helping them financially should Obama cary out his threat
it is time for GOD’s people to stand up and be counted worthy
Love is an ACT NOT a platitude
As YESHUA said ” You shall know them by their fruits ”
Let us all be GOOD figs lest GOD curse us and we wither and die
Does Obama respect the sovereignty of Uganda at all? The homosexual bill has been passed by the Uganda’s legislative arm of government and it is only to be signed into law by the president, yet Obama is threatening the President of Uganda, as though he is usurping a unilateral power of his own.
Why was Obama held to ransom by members of the Republican House of representativs, when they refused to approve his economic budget plan, which almost grounded his government. If he has such power. why did he not exercise it in his country? He is instead of intimidating the President of Uganda with threats of cutting Aids support to Uganda?
Obama by his utterance is actually daring God Himself and he will soon, learn some lessons that Nebuchadnezzar experienced, if he does not repent of his deeds.
The mind of God reflects in they that fear The Lord almighty and definitely Obama is not one.
[…] Much prayer was mobilised in Uganda and across the world, including in neighbouring Kenya. […]
You are repulsive bigots. Judgement is coming. Rot in hell.
I think you meant rot in jail, if you get your way.
We cannot and will not stop preaching righteousness, even though the truth so offends you.
Prov 29:27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
John 7:7 (The Lord Jesus:) The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
(KJV)
It seems to me that the most obvious ‘bigots’ are the homosexual activists who are so intolerant of anyone else’s moral ethics which are in line with the Word of God.
Yes, Alex, judgement IS coming. May I suggest that you get yourself right before our Holy and Almighty God, before it is too late.
We don’t hate you, like you obviously hate us- we pray for you, that you will be saved.
Every Government that want to exalt itself above God, Shall be pull down.A word is enough for thewise
Homosexuality is related to paedophillia?
The things written on this page are more vile than you seem to think gays are.
Didn’t you know that? The only possible conclusion is that you are heterosexual and haven’t known many homosexual men.
Actually I am a gay man, and I have no desire to have sex with children.
Sorry to ruin your ‘truth’ Morons.
What about adolescents?
Nope, never done anything illegal and I never will.
God is more likely to judge you than me, bigot.
So that leaves plenty of 16-year-old boys in the frame.
Name-calling doesn’t get you anywhere, old boy.
And God judges according to his holy law, not according to fashionable 21st-century prejudices.
Hi Paul, Actually Stephen is right about the homosexual/paedophile connection. The information I have is a few years old so the situation will most probably be worse now.:
There is a definite link between male homosexuality and paedophilia.
It is well established that people who have been abused as children, go on to perpetuate this crime themselves as adults.
Many homosexual men- and Lesbian women have been sexually abused as children and the psychological damage done has lasting consequences with regard to their subsequent psychosexual development and some of them go on to perpetuate this crime.
A high percentage of homosexual men prey on young boys.
It is claimed that homosexuals (who are only 1 -3% 0f the population) are responsible for a third of paedophilia crimes.
In a paper entitled ‘Gay Marriage and Homosexuality: Some Medical Comments’, Dr Hans-Christian Raabe summarized conclusions from research and other academic studies and concluded that there was a “disproportionately greater number of homosexuals among paedophiles”. “While the majority of homosexuals are not involved in paedophilia, it is of grave concern that there is a disproportionately greater number of homosexuals among paedophiles and an overlap between the gay movement and the movement to make paedophilia acceptable,”
The paper concluded. “Despite the impression given by the media, the actual number of homosexuals is quite small. Essentially all surveys show the number of homosexuals to be only 1-3% of the population.”
A Home Office document published in 1998 by Bradford et al suggesting that approximately 20 to 33% of child sexual abuse is homosexual in nature and about 10% mixed.
According to a 2002 report by the US Family Research Council (US) entitled ‘Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse’, “paedophiles have long existed as a subculture within the Gay rights movement”.
The report states that in 1985, The North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBA), was admitted as a member in New York’s council of Lesbian and Gay Organizations and the International Gay Association.
The reason suggested for this link is that is it easier and more instantly gratifying to manipulate young attractive boys in to having sex, than it is to manipulate another man. There is also the added appeal of power.
NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a New York-based group that advocates legalizing sex between men and young boys. The NAMBLA Web site included the quotation “Boy-lovers and the lesbians who have young lovers are the only people offering a hand to help young women and men cross the difficult terrain between straight society and the gay community. They are not child molesters. The child abusers are priests, teachers, therapists, cops and parents who force their stale morality onto the young people in their custody. Instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them.”
We are all aware of the paedophile crimes committed by Roman Catholic priests. This is all over the media, because the perpetrators are thought to be ‘Christian’. In fact there is no way they are Christian. The Roman Catholic Religion does not allow its priests to marry- and this has led to homosexuality in epidemic proportions within their ranks- and much of this is directed at young boys. We hear about this – but we do not hear about things like the ‘Man Boy Love Association’ and the like.
Alex,
‘Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to many people’.
Proverbs Ch 14 verse 34.
I think it is a disgrace that a man, who stands up for homosexuality, and pretends he is a Christian, does he and his puppet masters think, that they can change God’s laws, and the way God intended life to be, and get away with it. Little do they know that this planet is being watched 24 hours a day, with all its activities,, in the open and in secret places. Nothing is secret from God.
Raj suggested that Obama may be a closet homosexual. Actually he is a Muslim.
Among many other evidences, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: “There is no God except Allah.”
Obama bowed to the Saudi King – showing his allegiance to him; and he is also very good friends with Turkish leader Erdogan- who, in addition to the Saudis, is currently financing the promotion of Islam in the west.
The Muslims and the Liberals are joining forces against the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our countries are based in order to destroy them. Of course, the liberals are being used as ‘useful idiots’ by the Muslims, who hate all that they stand for. Under Islamic Sharia Law, homosexuals are executed by hanging or being thrown off a cliff; and abortion is forbidden. Any woman objecting to her subjugation under sharia is also executed, usually by stoning, beheading or having her throat slit.
Islam’s tactic is: ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’. That is until the mutual enemy is destroyed – then the ‘useful idiot will be killed’
Obama who tries to pretend he is a Christian has legitimised homosexuality in the military, set aside June as LGBT month and promotes and defends homosexuality at every turn.
On December 4th 2011: CNS News published a headline that read: “Senate Approves Bill that Legalizes Sodomy and Bestiality in U.S. Military.”
He has at the same time been harassing, threatening and silencing Christians. The Christians in America are in great danger. Under the Obama Administration, evangelical Christians have been stated as being the biggest terrorist/security threat in the USA.!!!
Obama almost single handedly railroaded through the Illinois state legislature the most extreme partial birth abortion bill ever conceived. This 2003 law allowed babies intended for abortion to suffer and die outside the womb without medical attention if they somehow survived the procedure!
In 2003, he was asked if he was pro-choice on abortion “in all situations including the late-term thing.” Obama replied: “I’m pro-choice.”
Under Obama, $60,000,000 of US tax money is used for abortion.
Obama is also funding abortion in Kenya, with US taxpayers money.
The Obama Administration has resumed formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
The MB’s creed is: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
At his UN speech 2012: He praised the Arab Spring and the Muslim Brotherhood, and said they have the FULL SUPPORT of America, and he said: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”.
Obama, along with Erdogan, is believed to have helped to engineer as well as finance the overthrow of the more ‘secular’ dictators of the Mideast – in order to install the MB, who are religious zealots, commissioned with the restoration of the Caliphate and world conquest.
Obama has installed MB operatives at the head of government departments, including advisors in the White House, and the two deputy leaders of Homeland Security; the new head of the CIA is a Muslim convert. The training manuals of the CIA, FBI and other security organizations have been purged of any reference to ‘Islamic terrorism’. Any ‘religious’ motivation for terrorism- with regards to Islam – is to be disregarded.
Obama has also been financing the immigration of hundreds of thousands of Muslims, including Hamas and other terrorist operatives into the USA, without passports and visas…… but most Christians trying to flee from the mid east have had their visas refused. So much for equality.
not very encouraging!!!
