Penny,

"the claim that there are homosexuals actively proselytising in Uganda is very scarey"

The claim that there is an axe murderer hiding behind your computer desk is scarey.

But it has nothing to do with reality.


Besides which, how does a homosexual proseletyze?


'Roll up roll up - people of uganda have you considered homosexuality?'


Or maybe its "alright darling, fancy a shag?"


And what are we assuming about the nationality of the homosexual doing the proseletyzing?


Is he from Europe or Africa?


I once spent some time in Ghana, and while I lived there I stayed at the lavish home of a very powerful guy who tendered privately for infrastructure regeneration projects throughout Africa.


He pontificated at length on many subjects, but one of his hoobby horses was the idea that homosexuality was a european import to Africa that had never previously existed there.


This is obviously utter bollocks. They just keep a very very low profile.


It is basically the same view expressed in the "lively" article above.


I first heard it in 2008 so it is an OLD myth.
