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 sexual orientation happens to be,” said
Kamuntu.
“Now that I finally revealed my sexual 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.
