"Mr[nbsp ]President, I agree completely with the proposals here, because what is happening in Uganda and Nigeria – particularly criminalising homosexuality and the draconian, discriminatory penalties that are being applied – is not acceptable. We certainly have to look at the aid we are giving to these countries, and in particular I think we should cut off aid to central government and give it to the NGOs.
We should also challenge the Ugandan President, who claimed that his actions are based on a report by so-called medical experts stating that homosexuality is not genetic and classifying it as social behaviour. Clearly there is room here for major educational efforts. If we look at how far we ourselves have come in 20 years, in terms of our attitudes, practices and laws, then hopefully the same can be achieved in a shorter period of time in Uganda and Nigeria."@en1
