Uganda's anti-gay law: Will world outrage fall on deaf ears? • FRANCE 24 English

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- Uganda's legislation that outlaws indentifying as LGBTQ is receiving widespread condemnation. US president Joe Biden has spoken out to describe the new law as shameful. Biden, who is himself a practising Roman Catholic, a religion that says homosexuality is a sin, says Uganda's new legislation could very well harm US-Uganda relations. Before Biden's words were uttered, the law had been condemned by the United Nations as the "worst of its kind in the world."

So another debate among 4 people who essentially agree with one another. How enlightening.
Indeed..... French style of Western debate
France has already interfered with Africa too much. They have Zero moral authority to speak about any issue on the continent.
They would have just phoned each other other than wasting our time with this public debate
Oh! Look who's complaining! At least they can react. They are not in Uganda.
@@guillaumerusengo9371complaint justified. If you wanna make any sort of impact on the situation, then it should've been an actual debate with differing views, not an echo chamber.
Uganda has nothing to say about laws in the USA and vice versa the USA has nothing to say regarding laws voted by Uganda to regulate their country.
Exactly Thank you🙏
I'm an American and I couldn't care less about the laws in Uganda or what you guys do. It's NOT my business nor will it ever be. Don't get the citizens in the US twisted with the leaders. This is Biden's issue with Uganda, not ours.
This has nothing to do with USA, it's a French report! 🤦
@@angiesnicheI agreed with you. Biden should sort out the problem in his country and not put his views in other countries.
As Ugandans, we are planning to sanction USA for it's gun laws. We will keep our distance from them. Guns are killing them and they can't change their laws.
How is this a debate?
And those people protesting there are from South Africa, not Uganda.
I wonder why nobody is protesting in Uganda. It must be that every Ugandan agrees.
@@garethaustin3137 yes....well to be fair 99% of Ugandans agree
@@ssekabirageoffry7577 I am suggesting that dissent is not allowed in Uganda.
@@ssekabirageoffry7577 And 1% are in prison.
@@garethaustin3137 well I am a Ugandan but I have not heard of any one getting imprisoned yet......
Put this pressure on Saudi Arabia , Qatar, UAE Egypt and Turkey which are your allies
Congratulations to my Ugandans brothers and sisters
❤❤❤❤
For what?? For killing and imprisoning people just because they're different?!.....Just look at yourself you bloody barbarians !!
@@tristanvettese3352 you're the barbarian for not reading the law 😂😂. Also behaving gae is not being different, there is no gae gene in the human genome to justify a new identity. Therefore it's ruled as a crime in Uganda.
@@stopcensorship7705gay and trans people are being killed in the streets and you’re ok with that?
Then stay in Uganda and stop invading Italy
Africa also demand to legalise polygamy in Europe and American societies
Sweet
I agree with you, my brother.
It’s their country mind your own business
Why is the world worried about Ugandas decision. Whats yr plan. 90% of Ugandans are in support of the law is
This not democracy?
Correction, the world isn't worried about Uganda...trust me.
90 percent is an understatement.
Can we find 1000 people in the country who genuinely support it?.
Let's cut the external aid and see how that number will be.
@@OMJOVI same or higher, there is always someone in the East outbiding your broke Western leaders.
Pushing lgbt+ agenda is not as universal as you'd like us to believe. The harder it's pushed the harsher the reaction, corporations are learning it the hard way. Most people don't care about sexual orientation, they don't want it shoved down their throat, especially when it reaches their kids.
It’s weird and they should keep it to themselves- their sexual feelings.
It’s true the more they try there will be global backlash because it is at odds with heterosexuality.
While most of them don’t have children!
@@Kiriza22 there 2 million children being patented by at least one or more lgbt parents in America. Do your research.
There also is a surrogacy explosion amongst gay men who can afford it.
but imprissonment ,abuse and even death? if they are adults thats there choice, i understand yes keep that from children , but when they become adults thats there choice! evryone applauds this until one day when they try to pass something else that will affect you then you will be alone !!
Uganda is an independent country it has right to protect it's culture and values
It's a breach of UN article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
@@zwcdamien but that is not a law 😂😂. Also there is no breach since Ugandans now recognize LGTVs as criminals before the law.
State sponsored genocide is not apart Ugandan culture
Now people are killing to protect your 'culture and values' and you find it normal??? Are you crazy????? I'm sorry but as I remember Uganda is supposed to be a country predominantly christian. And guess what is murder?? One of the worst sin. So if you consider yourself christian, or any other religion and are ok with murder or to commit murder ask yourself some questions !
@@Apd766 LGBT is not Africa problem
Was it democratically or autocratically decided?
If democratically, then what's all the force about.
Passed in the national assembly/Parliament
All African countries have to follow this logic Banning it
22 other African countries are.
Why is there such glaring hypocrisy when it comes to the US and EU failing to exert similar pressure or implement comparable measures in the Middle East compared to Africa, including its sovereign nations? This disparity in treatment highlights the significance of alternative sources of financing and partnerships, as they can reshape power dynamics in Uganda's favor and the rest of Africa. Can someone explain the reasons behind this inconsistency?
🇺🇬🌍
In a word? OIL
Racism - white nations have historically enjoyed having power over Africa. So they don’t want to let that go.
The Arabs were lucky enough to discover large amounts of oil in the 60s that changed the power dynamics for them.
I am Ugandan and I love this law and as I move around my community I see celebration
Shameful.
As an American, I am embarrassed that President Biden would dare denounce Uganda for practicing their cultural values
Biden is racist for denouncing Uganda.
👍😭😭😭
If your cultural values include genocide, then your culture deserves to be denounced.
Congratulations Uganda 👏 for keeping your culture and customs. I stand with Uganda
Yup just like Idi Amin b4, they want to murder innocent people. If that's culture, then keep it.
@@robertwilkes2105 He died like 20 years ago, yet US waged so many wars and proxy wars in the meantime, Idi Amin seems like a puppy in contrast.
What culture? The one imposed by Christian western colonists at the time? 😂😂 what a joke
It’s hatred and ignorance get real
Our country, our laws.
AND WE DONT entertain western arrogance and ignorance. We are a clear minded country since slavery, appetheid scrumbling and looting Africa and colonisation. We saw them with clarity
Correct your title like this "Outrage from West.." The rest of the world support Uganda's law
What is the rest of the world to you? Iran? China? Then ask THEM to give you billions every year...
Thanks for telling us we don't matter. We should tell you the same then. How is that?
You can start selling your countries to China tomorrow... They'll give you HUGE crippling infrastructure loans, so THEIR companies can get paid to build stuff that'll fall apart within a few years, but that you'll PAY for, for generations... Ask the ones that already did just that... See how they like the result.
Cheers loser! If you persecute humans over something personal like this, I don't want my government to share my taxes with you.
Homosexyality is legal in the majority of all countries.
Google it
@jonathanjonson3455it's even better in practice!
That is only a setback, it will not be upheld though!
@@TheJimprez actually we dont want your billions anymore if i have to choose between a healthy population grow or the right to push healthy seed in a mans poo hole...before colonization of the west, Africa was doing perfectly fine...these billions are coming with crooked deal anyway ment to keep the continent poor.
@@nenasiek It is not in law in many countries,, most of them hide behind human rights,, but the society hates them,, they pretend to be civilised but in reality, they are rejects..
Uganda is Now a Super Power 🕺🕺🕺🤸🤸🤸🤸💃💃💃
Good on Uganda!
Ah Biden and his colonizing rhetoric. Where is the outrage for that?
Ur free to relocate to Europe
I'm neutral on LGBT politics, but massive respect to Uganda having a leader with a backbone 💯🙏🏾.
I think everybody are with the concept of just LGBT existing. The issue is with radical grooming that's happeining.
In Uganda we are celebrating and we are happy and we love our president...long live our president 🙏 ❤ 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬
100% We support you ✨
The westerns are turns to Evil almost they're not human definitely.
It's a breach of UN article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR),
Believe me, the majority of the United States likes the new law
😂😂😂😂😂a proud Ugandan 🇺🇬🇺🇬
@@zwcdamien not a breach of Ugandan constitution, fyi the UN charter is not a legislative authority.
I think they should go to the West so they don't have to deal with Uganda I think France should rescue them all to Paris.... Or to Western countries..., Problem solved
I certainly think that the EU should stop all international aid to Uganda and instead use that money to help anyone who needs to leave such ignorance and cruelty move to a place where they can be respected.
@Chrstopher Blighton-Sande I think Uganda will prosper greatly without Western help.
@@chrstopherblighton-sande2981 You are the biggest hypocrites and against diversity
What resources do America have to be telling other countries what to do? All countries around the would should block the US an see what happens
For us in uganda only celebrations 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬👍👍👍
Because everybody in Uganda agrees.
Hw will it fall on deaf ear when even now its making all of u jump out of yr hiding places. This is big decision Uganda made and no regrets.
Am happy i will never see the rainbal flag in Uganda. Ever am the happiest person.
Until your children grow up! 😂
@@enriquemunoz704 Sorry they will face the law then. If my son will not give me any children and protect the lineage it will make no sense to invest in him further.
@@fredrikr6280 You have no business being a parent.

Don't worry...you'll get what you desire....human stupidity is contageous (unfortunately) !
@@tristanvettese3352 I got no worries
22 other African nations are.
We the people of Uganda love this law
Now I hope your kid will come out as gay. 😊
@@justarwan how can he be a gay.
When his parents are perfect in genes and hormones
No one is born gay. People just learn to be so.
Even animals have wisdom and brain but why you human being lost knowledge. Now you are blaming normality to become abdormality.
Homosexuality has been observed in over 1,500 species.
Lgtv in Africa is a non issue. We have serious issues to attend to.
Yes it will since the world begins and ends with the west
Doesn’t begin with the west
Haha good one 😂
@@ZomziWeAfrika as the west
i am in Uganda, no one is beating anyone....be careful what you say, Grace is not in Uganda,she knows nothing happening here. NOW i have this to say, I met students ,high school students who are being paid to carry out homosexuality and also recrute others to do the same, i think you are being biased just to get a story, Uganda has a population of more than 45 million people, the majority supports the bill, i think thats democracy for me. by forcing Uganda to accept this, is dictatorship. Allow us make our decision.
Leave Uganda alone
No pink dollars for Uganda..good on Uganda!😊
World outrage? Westerners need to stop interfering in others' legislative business. Respect others' cultures and differences.
Say that again for the people at the back 👏🏿
What world? Same old rogue states trying to bring back colonialism to Africa and Asia in the guise of liberal democracy.
Did you not see all the African people protesting against the law in the video? It's a breach of the UN charter.
Homosexuality is legal in the majority of all countries on earth.
Google it if u want
@Jonathan Jonson WHO SAID THAT THEY ARE/WERE SMART
In kenya if it come we gonna vote for it
Good on you Uganda you have my support for sure
Go back in your cave neanderthal
Its funny and unfortunate that there is a deliberate omission of facts in this debate:-
1. Uganda doesn't criminalize being gay but rather acts of homosexuality.
2. It is the ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY ACT 2023 not anti-gay law as its being portrayed here.
3. Homosexuality is just not acceptable to Ugandans in every dimension even without the British law and the new law i.e. culturally, spiritually and socially.
4. Homosexuality is not a human right in Uganda.
Discussing on how to influence Uganda's internal policies as foreigners to Uganda is absurd.
I want to invite everyone to understand and respect the Ugandan context of values, norms and religion.
Lastly, the way the west passionately wants to impose its values on Africans feels like a deliberate, long-term strategic agenda to depopulate Africa. Food for thought, if everyone at some point becomes gay, then extinction is eminent.
Who's everyone? Everyone can't be gay there will always be " straights' couples. + You know surrogate mothers and sperm donors do exist. So if that's your concern..I would like to add that people are making less children. That's crazy how you're talking about homosexuality as if it was a disease it has always existed and will always exist, law or not.
I always find it weird for black peoples or any community that has been massively hated in the past (and still is for whatever reason) to hate on another community for something they can't control! There's not value there that's just pure hate. Ok you don't want to see it everywhere but killing for it?? That's crazy!
Why do you think conversion therapy or any other procedure to "put the gay away" doesn't work??
@@justarwan Great to hear you point of view, but if you have time, please study the law closely.
A death penalty is the maximum punishment for particularly aggravated homosexuality.
Surrogacy and sperm donation is definitely being abused in that context, I believe that those procedures are morally intended for those (real) women who for some abnormality can't naturally have babies.
Uganda is not unique to this, how come no one talks about the Arab world. I haven't heard any sanctions imposed for the rejection of homosexuality activities during the previous World Cup.
Lastly, to Uganda, homosexuality is a psychological deviation which cannot be normalised.
They say "when you are in Rome, do as the Romans do".
@@justarwan there is no gae gene, GWAS Aug. 2019. Do not ever compare being black to behaving gae. Skin color is genetically inherited and encoded in the melanogenesis process.
@Nickers I agree that religion is mostly imported but however you shouldn't confuse African traditional values and religious values. Traditional values existed long before the importation of the so called western religion
@Nickers does west have values really, read that again
All countries need to adopt this law.
We have been raising very many issues to outside countries but no help now this about our culture u came out , 😮😮
God Bless Uganda... they are doing what God said to do... like it or not !!!
Sometimes writing out the letters helps people to understand what it is all about. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual people collectively. Primarily referring to sexual encounters. not just affection of the same or more than one type of sexual activity. Anyone over 21 years of age, not coerced, not molested as a child, totally informed, has a RIGHT to that choice, however, there are always consequences for wrong choices. Information is the key to making right choices, not hindered by emotional excitement or propaganda that you want to hear.
Congratulations to my country UG
Sex is more important that poor hospitals and roads
In my district in Eastern uganda we have a population of a bout 800,000 people, I am 30years and I have moved a round my district well enough and I can tell you I haven't heard of any one who's attracted to opposite sex nothing .we've lot's of educated people, it's not like we have people who don't understand their sexual life. This ideology is only talked a bout in kampala which is the headquarters of politics in the country. One thing which is clear is that the Africans running these promotions are paid to do so, these organisations don't belong to Africa.
Tell Brenda not to come back to Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
We are with Uganda. The West cannot extend its social imperialism on the African continent
This is not about the West. The law is a clear breach of UN article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).
The West keep extending its imperialism when American Evangelist have meetings with African leaders to spread their conservative agenda (they lost the battle in USA) and get more members to their churches in the continent. That's what has been happening in Uganda and other countries. Africans claim to be free, but the true is that they are still being manipulated by the West, not by LGBT but by Christianity. It's the same "modus operandi" that European colonizers used to control African and American continents centuries ago and they are still doing it in Uganda. It''s not about hating religion, it's about not letting churches stop the natural evolution of civil rights.
@@bubisofc7013 To hell with our narrative. You don't know our culture more than us
@@zwcdamien there is no breach done by Uganda, per the article 6 (not a law) lgtv folks are now recognised as criminals in Uganda. Congratulations 👏👏👏😂😂
@@bubisofc7013 I forgot that the person who introduced the bill was a Christian, you can't teach us more about our country and write our history like you did years ago table's have turned uganda has all its rights
If you ask some of those young people in North America that have detransitioned ...They might congratulate you ...Because they are sounding the alarm about some really bad people in there abusing Children also....Time will tell if you maybe escaping a lot of pain....THANK YOUUUU...🙏 💞 ♥️
You're messing things up....this is not about trans people....and furthermore every country in this world has laws against child abusers (paedophiles), but consensual relations among adults is something completely different and it should not be persecuted...at least not in civilized world !
@@tristanvettese3352 it's pushing for grooming. Adults consenting or not, children should have the priority in rights. And that what was done in Uganda. There is nothing civilized about groomers with abortion laws.
It's an example to the world of what not to do.
Why not middle east? Why Uganda always? They sound like they are not confident die alone.
Why's she hidding her face, ?!
That is proof that even back home she's a misfit even from her own family, trust me as a Uganda if her fily see her face she is automatically rejected and disowned by her own family including father n mother
In Uganda we have a right to make our own laws n pliz go discuss France's affair n leave Uganda to live in peace
Why do I have to hear about LGBTQ issues practically every day yet I never seem to hear about someone like myself, a white straight woman?
Because aside from being a woman, you’re not one of the protected classes. If you start telling people you’re trans, then you’ll get special privileges.
Exactly, Just for the Votes they are promoting just one community.
We need a Flag of Straight Men and Women.
@@jjimmy9763 There's already one.
This is not the issue about LGBT....it's the issue of backward and barbaric legislation !
@@tristanvettese3352 nothing barbaric nor backward about a voted legislation. If anything caving into lgtv agendas is a regression to Ancient Roman Empire.
World outrage how? If so is the Arabia part of your campaign.
Mr france 24 do you even know what a debate mean?😂😂😂
Uganda is A Free and Sovereign Nation They Have Every Right To Decide For Themselves. The World and Other Nations need to focus on their own obvious issues.
Grace I bet you’re family is disappointed in you
It was democratic law and the public supported it
WELL DONE UGANDA 🇺🇬 👏 👍
Thank you our president M7 for your decision
Does France 24 understand the meaning of debate?!
Congratulations Uganda 🇺🇬
The struggle for African independence was started by Nkrumah' of Ghana and the spirit spread a cross Africa and the mission was a chieved how ever we can see and believe the white man left using the front door and came BACK through the back door(Neo colonialism) and have still captured us. There for we still need to gain our full independence and the war against the white man has been set by president Museveni and I tell you what! this wave will sweep allover Africa and at the end the mission will be Achieved.
Well done President Museveni, stand tour ground. You are resolute!
you should apply to be their executioner...
It's a terrible move. Woe to those who legislate out of hate. This just proves the country is just as backwards as it is perceived.
Sure. Resolute in LOSING foreign aid from countries that don't support bigots. Nice one Einstein. So, Ugandans prefer starvation to letting the few LGBTQ+ live in peace? Good to know.
@@dmp7252 this isn't hate, it's pure parental concern and love for their own children. What is backwards is enabling abortion by the millions in the West.
@@TheJimprez we all see how the lgtv mafia extorts humanitarian aid from african countries, which is why you're losing business opportunities to the East. Keep your dying debt ridden fiat currency, ugandans can find better clientele.
wheres the "world outrage" though? I have yet to see a barrage of negative articles condemning them...
All this LGBT was not heard of in Africa its u that started coming to lecture us on our sexuality, etc this was not concern to us.
....and so was with christianity 😁
@@tristanvettese3352 Christianity was spread in Africa way before colonialism fyi.
@@stopcensorship7705 It doesn't matter....it's not genuinely African and so by your own logic it shouldn't have place in Africa because it doesn't represent original African culture and values !
@@tristanvettese3352 North african cultures are genuinely african and FYI christianity is not tied to any Nation. Monotheistic beliefs do represent centuries of african values and culture.
Why is this an issue, seriously?
Because Uganda is committing a human rights violation.

Um what did Idi Amin do? Play chess??
@@robertwilkes2105 he died 20 years ago, in 20 years of time do you even know how many wars US waged ?
He did not export his wars. If Ugandans forgave him, then it’s settled!
Good its about time a country stood up to this LGBTQ community
It is true, as some comments observe, that the demonstrations depicted here against the Ugandan anti-gay laws are in SOUTH AFRICA, not Uganda. That's because in South Africa, we have a constitution that protects human rights, regardless of sexual orientation. Also, in South Africa we can peacefully protest, demonstrate and express our opinions without fear of prejudice. But you won't see mass protests in Uganda. Why do you think that is?
Do you think that’s why it has that 95% approval rating?
@@spongeintheshoe Yes. When a totalitarian law is passed in a country that promotes imprisonment and death for dissent, and that law receives 95% approval rating, I do think it's because people people are too scared to express disapproval.
Good Job Uganda
Yup. Dont care and dont seek asylum here.
Best law ever the world needs to follow there example
Hmmmmmm.
I hear world outrage!.......whether it's world outrage ...Ugandans have their own decisions which are of their interests, culture, norms and chosen paths.......
So those NGO should go to their homes and promote their views
the devil hard at work
Why are all discussants LGBTQ+ sympathizers why not bring someone from Uganda so as you can see the point of view from the Ugandan perspective but as always u try to show that Africa is backward & is a place where u feel too dominant to influence our life style, shame upon U

From the comments here, it seems that a lot of people support hate. Why am I not surprised. Hope all of you people don't have any diversity in your families. Criminalizing what is given by nature is absurd. The broad public support for discrimination is a sad commentary on human rights in Uganda. Seems it is back in the days of Idi Amin.

Hate and truth is different. Hate is not the word . Do you embrace everything you dont agree with . No hate
