Last week, the Arizona State House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow business owners asserting religious beliefs to deny service to gays and lesbians. Across the ocean in the country of Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni signed a bill on Monday that criminalizes homosexuality.

He is a civil right activist and Africans seems same sex as Western and abuse of human sexuality, what do you think?
