Ugandaā€™s proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill is generating outrage among African human rights advocates. A strong argument comes from Solome Nakaweesi-Kimbugwe, Executive Director of Akina Mama wa Afrika and author of a chapter in JASSā€™ collection Women Navigate Power. Calling the Bill ā€œan alarmingly retrogressive piece of legislation, aimed at legalising hatred against a section of the Ugandan citizenry,ā€ Nakaweesi-Kimbugwe points out the dangers to all civil liberties, highlights the ā€œvalueā€ of this debate as a pre-election distraction from urgent national priorities, and names some of the rightwing American Christian organizations funding this homophobic agenda.
