CLERIC: GREED LEADS TO HOMOSEXUALITY
A Ugandan cleric has said that the ‘spread’ of homosexuality in his country is as a result of the “greed for money,” reports the Daily Monitor.
Speaking at a school function on Sunday in the Kayunga District, Mukono Diocese Bishop Eria Paul Luzinda said:
“Many Ugandans today think that money is everything and are ready to do anything, be it immoral, to get it… Because of their greed for money our people have taken on immoral acts like homosexuality and lesbianism.”
He urged school authorities to stamp out homosexuality among the youth as they would become the leaders of tomorrow.
“The youth are the main target of these acts but I want to advise you not to be enticed into such acts because they will ruin your life,” he told students.
The Bishop has previously slated European attitudes towards homosexuality, saying earlier this year:
“The government should not be tempted to legalise this backward culture which is bound to destroy this country. Not all that comes from Europe is superior and must be taken up by us.”
Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda, with offenders facing up to five years in prison. Same-sex marriage has also been banned.
Government officials, including President Yoweri Museveni, have called for a strengthening of anti-gay laws. LGBT activists have reportedly been harassed and tortured by the authorities.
Greed and Homosexuality. Sadly this is so typical of clerics who want to blame every ill of the world on homosexuality. The cleric concerned should then look carefully at Bob up north – now there’s a greedy man if ever there was one. Maybe that’ll explain Bob’s homophobia – he’s afraid of being outed! LOL!
hey there. hey there
i am so sad to know that you think Bob is homosexaul like us gay guite to be honest with you Bob is a a fucking ass hole in the world that you will ever know coz if you are gay in zimbabwe then you do get killed by him and all of us gays are very happy with out that stupid head of his .
in fact being gay is nice but some times its very hard and first you need to love your self before you can be loved plus being hornest to your self as well we gays dont need that stupid ass here do you hear me olthoole.

Show me the money!. Good Lord!!!! Can’t help but laugh,what does the church have to do with my sexuality? I suggest that no Pink money be spend in any country that does not regonize & respect us.
…… If that were true then every single politician and / or religious leader in every single country would be gay!! It’s just another stupid comment by some dumb Ugandian! Why are comments like this even given attention?
He’s also saying it because he doesn’t want the money he is probably stealing to go the citizens of Uganda – who rightly deserve it – so they’ll be fooled into giving it to him thinking they won’t “turn” gay!
Why does Uganda even exist is beyond me??
Another Zim in the making?. Let’s face it! With the exception of SA, Namibia, Botswana and the Arab countries up north, Africa is a basket case. We have corrupt homophobes as rulers of some of the poorest countries in the world – just look at Zimbabwe. Is Uganda going the same way? If the disrespect for human rights increases in Uganda, are we South Africans to expect another zimbabwe-like flood of Ugandans crossing what’s left of our border-fences up north?
If only Zimbabwe and Uganda had OIL, then maybe Bush would invade their coutries and ship off all the homophobes to Guantanamo Bay.
Africans. And then these ignorant African countries and their henchmen still wonder why people are not taking them seriously…What a fucking laugh….
