Uganda Ethics Minister: homosexual behavior is ‘repugnant’

Homosexual behavior is “repugnant to the lives of the people of Uganda,” Simon Lokodo, the Minister for Ethics and Integrity, told CNN’s Hala Gorani, sitting in for Christiane Amanpour, on Wednesday.

A Ugandan bill passed by parliament in December would punish gay and lesbian people with lengthy prison sentences – including, in some cases, life behind bars.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has just signed that bill, according to the minister, but has not yet handed it over to parliament.

“If you want to do your thing, do it yourself,” Lokodo said. “But please, don’t embarrass, don’t involve, don’t bring any Ugandan to this activity, because it’s not acceptable.”

U.S. President Barack Obama in a statement said he was “deeply disappointed” in the law and said that it will be a “step backward for all Ugandans.”

Obama also made a tacit threat to remove the several hundred million dollars in aid that the U.S. gives Uganda annually.

“As we have conveyed to President Museveni, enacting this legislation will complicate our valued relationship with Uganda,” he said.

“If Barack Obama likes to help Ugandans,” Lokodo said, “let him help without strings attached, imposing … a behavior and a culture that is non-African, non-Ugandan.”

“We had better die poor than lose our dignity.”

Watch: Tyler Ennis’ Miracle 3 Pointer Keeps Syracuse Undefeated

 

The legend of Syracuse freshman Tyler Ennis continues to grow.

Prior to the beginning of the college season, prominently deemed “The Season of the Freshman”, most media outlets were focused on a bevy of potential one-and-done players like Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins, Kentucky’s Julius Randle, and Duke’s Jabari Parker.

While those superstar talents have been on display all season, an under the radar frosh has been the key to the Syracuse Orange’s fantastic 23-0 start to the season, namely Tyler Ennis.
Ennis may not have some of the eye-popping stats of some other players across the nation, but he has arguably been one of the nation’s top floor generals through February, displaying the poise of an upperclassmen, while guiding the Orange to it’s best ever start under legendary head  coach Jim Boeheim.
As part of ESPN’s Rivalry Week, the nation’s top ranked team, Syracuse Orange, took on the #25 ranked Pittsburgh Panthers, in only their 2nd ever match-up as part of the ACC Conference.
With college basketball’s top rivalry game, Duke vs North Carolina postponed because of snow, viewers were treated to a tough Big East type drag out contest, featuring numerous lead changes but saw the Panthers pull away late until some late game heroics by senior CJ Fair, made it a 2 point lead by Pitt.
Enter Tyler Ennis, as the freshman calmly sank 2 clutch free throws on the road in the final minute, followed by 2 free throws by Pitt big man Talib Zanna, with just over 4 seconds remaining.
That proved to be too much time for the Panthers as Ennis drove to within 35 feet of the basket before heaving up a miracle 3 point buzzer beater that kept the orange undefeated(24-0), continuing Syracuse’s magical season…
