The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
The draconian legislation promotes hatred and homophobia and seeks to strip LGBTQ+ individuals of their fundamental rights — including freedom of expression, privacy, and equality guaranteed under international human rights instruments to which Uganda is a party. The government must protect all people from violence and discrimination, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. To criminalize people simply for being who they are is morally repugnant.
Establishment-critical narrative
The West is quick to condemn anything that goes against its cultural imperialism but fails to realize that this bill is the direct result of its meddling. Shadowy international forces continue to promote and impose their morals on Africans, who have been forced to respond in kind. It's essential to protect Uganda's traditional family values, diverse culture, and the future of its children, even in the face of the West's financial blackmail.
