By vanrozenheim
(Uganda) - The majority of Ugandans do not support demands by Gay rights activists that homosexuality be decriminalised, according to a new survey. Some 95 per cent of Ugandans said homosexuality should not be legalised, while a paltry 4 per cent said they support its legalisation, a new Steadman poll shows. And at least 1 per cent said they do not have an opinion on the subject. The Penal Code Act criminalises homosexuality, an offence lumped among others that are deemed “unnatural” and “against the order of nature”. A convict could face imprisonment for life. Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo recently has made public anti-Gay comments.
