In a startling revelation, the
daughter of Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni admitted
today during a radio talk show
in Mbarara, in Western Uganda
that she is homosexual, and that she is revealing this fact as
a protest to the anti-gay law
her father signed only a few
days ago. Diana Kamuntu,
Museveni’s daughter
said that though she
loves her father
unconditionally, she
does not agree with Uganda’s anti-gay
stance, and will fight
against it. “I am gay, I am
homosexual. I have
known this since I was
a little girl. Also, I have
been Christian all of my
life, so I will not tolerate any law of this
supposedly democratic nation,
that will place hate on any
person just because of what his
or her intimate orientation
happens to be,” said Kamuntu. “Now that I finally revealed my
intimate orientation, I put myself
in front of this new law and I
will let our people decide what
to do with me,” Kamuntu adds,
as her voice breaks down while on air. The radio host, James Kasirivu
noticeably was in shock, and
could not seemingly get words
out of his mouth. The live radio broadcast was
abruptly shortened and was put
off air after a few hours of
repeated commercials. In the latest setback for
homosexuals across Africa, the
Ugandan President signed a law
Monday that imposes tough
penalties for homosexual acts, a
move that has been condemned from around the world and that
may jeopardize Uganda’s
relationship with the United
States and other Western
nations. As of this writing, neither the
radio station nor the office of
Ugandan President Yoweri
Museveni could be reached for
comment.
