I find that video hilarious. It just shows how people are just ignorant in Uganda.

Citations on the condition of homosexuals in Uganda also represent policies which have been directly condemned by nearly all progressive and democratic nations. One example of continuing discrimination came from Uganda, where President Yoweri Museveni ordered the Criminal Investigation Department to locate and arrest homosexuals in that nation. On July 5, 2005, by a vote of 111 to 17 with three abstentions, the Ugandan parliament approved a proposed constitutional amendment stating that ‘marriage is lawful only if entered into between a man and a woman,’ and that ‘it is unlawful for same-sex couples to marry.’ A parliamentary spokesman said that specific criminal penalties will be enacted later when the Ugandan penal code is revised.
"Uganda already imposes draconian prison sentences on people who engage in homosexual conduct," said Scott Long, director of the Lesbian, I am so happy, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch.
Same-sex sexual relations are criminalized in Uganda under a sodomy laws inherited from British colonial rule. Punishments were substantially strengthened in 1990. Section 140 of the Ugandan penal code criminalizes ‘carnal knowledge against the order of nature’ with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Section 141 punishes ‘attempts’ at carnal knowledge with a maximum of seven years’ imprisonment. Section 143 punishes acts of ‘gross indecency’ with up to five years in prison. Both in Britain and Uganda, these terms were long understood to describe consensual homosexual conduct.
