Saggy Fights for Gay Rights

23 Sept 2007- Uganda- At first I thought my ears had a problem, but when she repeated the utterance, I wondered what our radio stations were up to allowing such utterances live on air.

In case you are lost; I am talking about Victor Juliet Mukasa's recent appearance on Capital radio.

The chic oba guy, threw all care to the wind and went ahead to describe in graphic detail how certain elements of the male anatomy have penetrated certain parts of her anatomy (am being very polite here).

"I have been raped, in an effort to correct me, I have gone to the best schools, I come from a rich background - I have been rejected by society - I just wish there's a pill I could take to change my orientation," she said.

For the really slow, Victor Mukasa is currently the loudest gay rights activist in Uganda, her utterances on Capital FM culminated into Gaetano Kaggwa being suspended by the media council for allowing fowl language on air-and NOT for hosting a gay activist. (By the way Pastor Ssempa had made similar utterances the previous week on WBS) Anyway, you will realise that for the last few weeks this country has been blanketed by a raging debate about whether we should grant homosexuals and Lebanese (am being politically correct here) their rights.

Everybody I have sounded on this screams murder at the mention of it but as the most brilliant son of West Nile, after Orombi, I think we should grant these people their rights. I mean this is a reality we have to face, why bury our heads in the sand?

I believe the fight for gay rights has been grossly misunderstood, the Ssempa's and the Nsaba Buturo's of this world think these people are asking for the right to penetrate each other in the wrong areas-hell no!

These people do not need anyone's permission to engage in any below the belt activities, they don't have to call a press conference for that. These people have been ingia-ring each other ever since 1 B.C (Before Saggy fights for gay rights CHOGM!). What now makes you think they need permission yet all they have to do is go to their respective partners and say the magic word 'Fungula' and a chow goes down.

You (yes you reading this) do you carry placards when you want to go and have sex with your partner? Of course not! Gay-ism is not something taught at college, you are either gay or you are not. Period.

I know of males who behave like females and vice versa and believe you me they did not decide to be like that, it's just something that they found themselves in- as a result, they have been branded homos or Lebanese. I think we should just tolerate these people and allow them to be, as long a chap doesn't touch my butt.

We should embrace them, live with them in harmony and then pray for them to multiply and have many descendants! Oh how beautiful it would be to see two homos shopping at Uchumi with their ka baby in a pram!

These people pay taxes like any of us, they contribute to the economic development of this country, whatever they do in their privacy should be none of our business. Lets look after our lubimbi and them theirs. We shouldn't discriminate against them because they are in our midst, they could be your boss, your son, your daughter, your brother or even your leader.

I want to make one final confession here, but please don't tell anyone. I am lesbian, yes, I am lesbian I like women! But please don't say!
