Don't Legalise Gay Acts, Says Bishop
10 June 2008- Kampala, Uganda-
Mukono diocesan bishop Eria Paul Luzinda has cautioned the government against
legalising gay activities and described such culture as backward and non-
indigenous.
Bishop Luzinda made the remarks last
Wednesday while addressing students of Centenary Community College in Kayunga
Sub-county.
The institution was set up by Mukono
Diocese to equip students with vocational and technical skills. Gay activists
last Wednesday stormed an HIV/Aids meeting attended by President Museveni in
Kampala asking the government to consider them in the planning and prevention of
HIV/Aids but were arrested by the police
. "I have been hearing that gays are
demanding that the government should legalise their activities. This is absurd
because God created a man and woman so that they can produce and fill this
world," Bishop Luzinda said.
"The government should not be tempted to
legalise this backward culture which is bound to destroy this country." "Not all
that comes from Europe is superior and must be taken up by us," Bishop Luzinda
said.
The bishop also urged parents to value
technical and vocational education as one way of reducing unemployment levels in
the country. He advised students to fully utilise their time at school if they
are to have a bright and successful future. Bishop Luzinda commended the
administration for renovating the school structures which he said had been
neglected by the past administration.
The principal, the Rev George Kityo,
criticised residents for refusing to take their children to the institution.
