Name the 0.1% that supported gay bill

It is well laid out that 0.1% of MPs supported homosexuality in an on going gay bill debate in the 11th Parliament  today 21rst March, 2023. While 99% of MPs were against the vice and voted against it.

Now, it is serious business today. 99.9% of the House have endorsed the Anti Homosexual Bill, 2023. It becomes the most supported bill in the House by all sides, the ruling NRM, the opposition political parties and independents.

“Our journalists should find out, names and shame that 0.1% of the MPs who voted otherwise. Yes, let them face the wrath of the population.If they are not careful mob justice may apply on them. But let’s wait and see if H.E will accent to it. He has consistently been telling off the west against Homos,” concerned Ugandans reacted.

Meanwhile LGBTQ Ugandans say discrimination against them have heightened since the country’s legislature launched an investigation into the alleged promotion of homosexuality in schools last month.

Eric Ndawula, a 26-year-old LGBTQ activist, said his landlord has issued him an eviction notice after a video of him being identified as gay went viral.
Activists say vitriolic language used by officials to justify the investigation, including recent anti-gay comments by President Yoweri Museveni and the head of Uganda’s Anglican Church, have had far-reaching consequences.
Ugandan Information Minister Chris Baryomunsi did not respond to Reuters request for comment about the impact of the probe.
