Save the world from homosexuality.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has called on African countries to save the world from the "degeneration" and "decay" of homosexuality, which aims to "annihilate all of humanity from the face of the earth", state radio UBC reported today.

“Africa must provide the leadership to save the world from this degeneration and decay which is really very dangerous for Humanity”.

“If people of the opposite sex stop mutually appreciating each other, how will the human race continue.”

Musevini questioned during a speech on Sunday in Entebbe.

A law recently passed in Uganda that criminalizes the identity of LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender] people, with sentences ranging from life imprisonment and the death penalty, legislation condemned by several UN bodies.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk called the legislation "one of the worst of its kind in the world". In his opinion, it would be a “carte blanche” for the “systematic violation” of human rights and would fuel social hatred.

The United Nations had already detected an increase in hate speech against the LGTB population and echoed a study by a civil society group that reported that, in February alone, there were more than 110 incidents against this community, from arrests to evictions, including sexual abuse and public harassment.

Museveni stressed during the conference in Entebbe that "broken families create homosexuals" and that homosexual unions are not genetic or hormonal, but respond to "psychological" problems and that these relationships are "anti-human".

“They should be banned in their entirety,” he said, also questioning sex education.

“Kids are kids. How dare they invade their childhood and start teaching them about adulthood.”

“A person who proposes same-sex marriage seeks to wipe out all of humanity from the face of the earth.” he stated

The Ugandan President also congratulated Ugandan MPs for having approved the anti-LGBT law and promised not to allow “the promotion and publicity of homosexuality”, which will not be “tolerated” in the country.
