During his remarks during the celebrations to mark the Janan Luwum day, in Kitgum, northern Uganda, Bishop Kazimba has vowed to do everything possible to have the anti-same-sex Bill returned to Parliament, as one of the measures to tackle the spread of homosexuality, especially in schools.

 He also urged religious leaders to open centres to provide counselling and support to people who could have been involved in homosexuality.

At the same occasion, President Museveni also praised the Ugandan Anglican church for severing ties with Canterbury, the seat of the Anglican Church worldwide after it blessed same sex marriages.

“I want to congratulate Ugandan believers for rejecting homosexuality. Those Europeans don’t listen but it is good you said not. We have been telling them that the thing of homosexuality is not something you should normalize and celebrate,” Museveni said.

Last week, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Dr.Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu said the working relationship with the Church of England had been destroyed irreparably after the latter allowed priests to bless same sex marriages.

“God’s Word has said that the only context for sexual relationships is in the context of a marriage of one man and one woman. This is a sin. Same sex relationship is a sin. The Church of England has sinned,”Dr.Kaziimba said.

“Parliament had passed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill which the President accented to and became law in 2014, but some people went to court and nullified it. But it (law) is still our stand and as religious leaders, we urge government and his Excellence the President that if it means bringing back that law, we are in support because that law will bury the LGBTQ practice in Uganda,” the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje.

He then called upon the Legislature to join hands so that this law is passed to protect Ugandans from this vice.

The presiding Apostle of the Born Again Faith in Uganda, Mr Joseph Sserwadda, said: “There is no law at this stage in the country which prohibits young children from accessing Internet and this has increased the cases of homosexuality among children.

He added: “It is now the responsibility of our Ministry of ICT to quickly get experts to begin to cluster content consumption into age groups so that children can only have what is good for them.”

On July 31, 2014, the Constitutional Court in a unanimous judgment, nullified the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014 for having been passed by Parliament without the required quorum of at least one-third of all legislators
