Cleric Warns Students On Gay
Activities
09 Nov 2007- Kampala, Uganda- The
Archbishop of Kampala Diocese, Dr Cyprian Lwanga has advised students not to
indulge in homosexuality and lesbianism.
Dr Lwanga said homosexuals and lesbians are
not born but made and that all Ugandans should do what it takes to suppress such
acts. "Every human organ which God created has a purpose" he said. He added that
there are health dangers associated with homosexual behaviour.
Dr Lwanga said apart from developing
complications in the reproductive system, people involved in these acts can
easily contract diseases like HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
However, he said gay people should not be hated but instead helped to deviate
from this form of sexuality.
Dr Lwanga was addressing students, parents
and other guests during celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of St Joseph's
Girls' Secondary School, Nsambya on Saturday. The school was founded in 1967 by
the Little Sisters of St Francis.
Dr Lwanga also commissioned a laboratory,
website and a school bus. "Some people think that AIDS has disappeared yet it is
still with us . We know how it comes about lets fight it using the right
methods," he said.
The Headmistress of the school, Sr Mary
Agatha exhibited work done by her staff and other stakeholders who have seen the
school progress and excel over the years.
Sr Agatha also said several structures have
been put in place at the school to meet the demands of the ever-increasing
number of students craving for quality education. She added that the student
population has grown tremendously since 1967.
