An African leader involved in organizations that have received millions of dollars from the president's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is leading a campaign to criminalize homosexuality in Uganda.

Pastor Martin Ssempa, who runs the Makere University church in Kampala, Uganda, led a demonstration last week of at least 200 protesters, calling homosexuality "a criminal act against the laws of nature."

"We were organizing the rally to protest an organized effort to force Africa, especially Uganda, to change our laws and to legalize homosexuality," says Ssempa. "We consider homosexuality to be abnormal, anti-cultural and criminal behavior. The government must uphold the law."

Ssempa has been considered the public face for the president's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in Uganda. Organizations he's active in such as the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda (IRCU) have received millions of dollars of USAID funding.

The states receive US federal money too. It seems more and more that those who are the most vocal opponents to homosexuality are the closeted ones. When will people just let it go?

Bu$h Admin to do anything but look the other way and keep pumping money into that, the US can hardly take the high road when we have so much of that ignorant thinking here. If the truth were known, Bu$hCo probably agrees with the Pastor and would also like to make being Gay against Federal law here.
