On Monday Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni had an exclusive interview with CNN to discuss his decision to sign a bill into law last December “that made some homosexual acts punishable by life in prison,” “Museveni told CNN’s Zain Verjee that, in his view, being homosexual is “unnatural” and not a human right.”[i] President Obama and the United Nations both responded with a statement commenting that this law violates human rights.
This comes at the same time that Arizona just passed a bill “that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.”[ii] And not to forget that back in 2013 “the New Mexico Supreme Court … ruled that an Albuquerque wedding photographer can be held liable under the state’s anti-discrimination laws for refusing to provide service to a same-sex couple.”[iii]
With the close of the Sochi Olympic Games and less attention being given to Russia’s antigay laws, it does seems this issue is becoming a concentrated worldwide agenda.[iv] An agenda to single out those who do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle.
