President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has refused to sign into law an anti-gay bill passed by the country's parliament, which is aimed at imprisoning not just homosegxwals, but people who talk about it without condemning the lifestyle. The President in a letter to the Country's parliament speaker said homosegxwals are 'abnormal' but could be 'rescued' by improving the economy.
"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosegxwality or Lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." President Museveni said
In December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay bill going against  the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the homosegxwality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.

The Ugandan anti-gay bill seeks to make all form of homosegxwal activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law. Homosegxwals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone who knows a homosegxwal and doesn't report such to police authorities would also face some sanctions if found wanting.
