Ugandan MPs move to ‘save children from homosexuality’

Last week, Uganda’s Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa popped the lid on the widely known, but rarely talked about, issue of homosexuality in Uganda, saying schools have been the target of pro-gay activists seeking acceptability in the country. He directed the government to probe the issue and “save the children” as schools open.

His comments came after a parent said in a video post that her son had been sexually abused by a teacher in one of the prestigious schools in the country.
