Primitive, barbaric legislation, based on outdated so-called moral judgements that have no place in civilised society. It's somewhat irrelevant to suggest that the roots of this initiative originate in Colonial value systems. That may be so, but most of society has rightly moved on since then. Uganda became independent in 1962. Surely 63 years is more than enough time to develop a more enlightened outlook? If the U.N. is truly serious about championing human rights, sanctions should be applied to any country which chooses to introduce such appalling victimisation.
