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 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.
As of this writing, neither the radio station nor the office of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni could be reached for comment.
