'Homosexuals need the truth'
One organiser of the rally, Pentecostal Pastor Solomon Male, said: "Homosexuality is growing in Uganda and Africa in general. Some of our people are thriving on funding from gay activists from western nations."Led by religious leaders, university undergraduates in red gowns and married women held aloft placards reading: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman. Homosexuals need the truth to set them free."The lesbian and gay population in Uganda was not known, but the numbers were believed to be increasing. However, many feared that if they "come out" they will be attacked."We are living in a global village as Commonwealth member states. Developed countries in the Commonwealth legalised homosexuality and influenced the poor states," said Interfaith Rainbow Coalition Against Homosexuality in Uganda, which consisted of religious groups in the country.It added: "We are telling the queen that by embracing homosexuality, we shall not have kings and queens, a statement from the anti-gay group."
