Speaker Among told MPs that Uganda doesn\u2019t need money from the promoters of gays to survive .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201d We dont need their money to compromise and go against our cultures and family values , \u201ca tough talking Among stated with the support of many MPs. Homosexuality is already a criminal offence under our Penal Code .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be the second time for Parliament to pass a law against homos in a space of two years . In 2021, Parliament passed the&nbsp;sexual offences bill which further criminalised same-sex relationships and sex work. The reiterated sections of legislation first enforced in Uganda \u2013 a largely African conservative country by British colonial rule. They condemn same-sex couples who perform acts deemed against the \u201corder of nature\u201d to 10 years\u2019 imprisonment. The law was a nulled on a technicality -that it was passed without quorum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church of Uganda has moved swiftly to terminate its relationship with Canterbury, the seat of the Anglican Church worldwide after&nbsp; it allowed homosexuals to marry .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom the first page of the Bible in the book of Genesis to the last page of the Bible in the book of Revelation, it is clear that God\u2019s design for human flourishing is that we are part of a family &nbsp;that is defined as one man and one woman united in holy matrimony for life and, God willing, a union that produces children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s Word has said that the only context for sexual relationships is in the context of a marriage of one man and one woman. &nbsp;Same sex relationship is a sin. The Church of England has sinned,\u201d Archbishop Dr.Stephen Kaziimba \u2013the head of the Anglican church in Uganda stated .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general synod of the church of England which is the top governing body of Anglicans surprised the world when it sat and passed several resolutions among others allowing the &nbsp;clergy to preside over marriages involving homosexuals something that is deemed a taboo in the African&nbsp; culture .Gays are already considered married by the British government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kampala Parents Association has already petition the Ministry of education and authorities in Kampala to address the penetration of homosexual activists in schools and even printing textbooks they&nbsp; are now circulating in schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The private Member of Parliament &nbsp;Asuman Basalirwa will go ahead to process the&nbsp; anti-homosexuality bill after government through the&nbsp; ministry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8441,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/download-1.jpeg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8350,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/speaker-among-has-led-parliament-to-allow-mp-basalirwa-to-present-new-anti-homosexuality-bill-2023\/","url_meta":{"origin":8440,"position":0},"title":"Speaker Among has led Parliament to allow MP Basalirwa to present new Anti Homosexuality Bill 2023","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"February 28, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"By Our Parliament Reporter Parliament Presided over by Speaker Anita Amongi has granted leave\u00a0 Hon.Asuman Basalirwa MP Bugiri Municipality to present a Private Members Bill entitled the Anti Homosexuality Bill 2023 to eliminate acts of homosexuality once and for all.
