Rainbow Herring: the Anti-Homosexuality Bill as a Case Study of Human Rights Violations and Cover-Ups in Uganda
“In a survey conducted in 2013 by Pew Research, it was found that 96% of Ugandans were against homosexuality and other non-traditional sexualities, making it one of the most anti-homosexual countries in the world. Findings from their 2007 report were similar, with an overall change of +1 in favor of homosexuality over five years (Pew Research, 2013). Several arguments are made for this viewpoint, the strongest being the religious argument; according to Leviticus and several sections of the New Testament, homosexuality is not allowed, and there are similar laws in the Qur’an.1 Other arguments made include biological and cultural.”
