“I share the outrage of many political, religious and civic leaders in Uganda and around the world about the ‘anti-homosexuality bill’ before the Ugandan Parliament. If enacted, this inhumane bill would sanction new levels of violence against people in Uganda based solely on their gender or sexual orientation. Its passage would hurt the close working relationship between our two countries, especially in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Over the last month, I have conveyed these concerns to the State Department and directly to President Museveni, and I urge Uganda’s leaders to reject this bill.”
— US Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), Chairman of the US Senate
Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs, from a statement
condemning the Ugandan exterminate-the-gays bill
