The United States is delaying Uganda's aid in connection with "anti-LGBT law". Isn't this an effort to force a change of law in a sovereign state, or is this just another US blackmail?

Officials in the White home working on an AIDS relief plan, which gives Uganda $400 million a year, informed partners that they had postponed a gathering in Uganda on an HIV assistance program (AIDS) due to the fact that they needed time to measure the impact of the anti-LGBT bill, which is about to enter into force, said a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department. The bill, 1 of the harshest in the world, was adopted by the Ugandan Parliament on 21 March and sent for signature to president Yoveri Museveniu, who, however, turned her in to request changes, reports Reuters.

President Uganda asked Members to separate between revealing themselves as gay, which would not be a crime, but "action based on this deviation would be." Ugandan president besides called for the removal of laws requiring citizens to study acts of homosexuality as this would make "constitutional challenges", and would besides be a origin of conflict in society, informed Reuters earlier.

The fresh law would criminalise a wide scope of behaviours referred to as "promoting homosexuality" and impose severe penalties, including the death penalty, for what it defines as "accelerated homosexuality". State Department spokesperson said that the decision did not frost or terminate PEPFAR (the plan name) in Uganda, but would let officials to measure the impact of the bill on PEPFAR's activities.

"We are considering the anticipation that the anti-homosexual law, if signed, may prevent us from providing life-saving prevention, care and treatment and equal opportunities for all Ugandans," said the spokesman.

Divide and rule: British government funds anti-LGBT organizations in Uganda

The British “Guardian” previously reported that the UK government is helping finance a spiritual organization in Uganda that supports “controversial anti-LGBT law”. On the basis of authoritative data from the global Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), the Institute for Journalism and Social Change (IJSC) has revealed a "bending" number of links between LGBT organisations in Uganda and global donors, including the UK.

In February, members of the Interfaith Council, including the Ugandan Church and respective Evangelical churches, signed a message expressing serious concern about “the increasing spread of homosexuality” in Uganda and the impact of the LGBT programme on the welfare of children. Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni recommended Parliament to adopt a fresh law prohibiting the promotion of sodomy and gender-based intellectual disorders, while urging Western states to "stop wasting the time of humanity by imposing their social practices on us."

Homosexuality has long remained illegal in Uganda under the Criminal Code itself, but legislators have recognised that the protection of the natural imagination of family, matrimony and sexuality should be strengthened. So last year an anti-homosexual law was created, which has just successfully completed the legislative path. The law prohibits not only homosexual unions themselves, but besides any perversion promoted under the LGBT agenda. The fresh law prohibits any recognition another than this consent with the actual sex. The government adopted provides for severe penalties for highly perverted sexual behaviour, including the death penalty.

The speech in the parliament was given, among others, by the Minister of Labour of Ecweru Musa Francis, who shared the overwhelming evidence of a visit to the infirmary where he met underage victims of homosexuals. "In our country we will have our own morality. We'll defend our children. We make this law ourselves. We make this right for our children. This country will talk hard – for homosexuals there is no place in Uganda." "No 1 should blackmail us. No 1 should intimidate us," stressed politician in consequence to the constant attempts of the West, especially the United States under Joe Biden's "good Catholic", pushing for acceptance and peculiar privileges in Uganda for behaviour contrary to nature.

Two weeks later, the Ugandan Parliament adopted an anti-homosexual law which was passed last period after 387 of 389 Members voted in favour of it.

U.S. president Biden has publically declared that "the leadership of our example on promoting LGBTQ+ human rights worldwide" remains the US's current political agenda under its rule."
