The Organisation of African Liberal Youth (OALY-LEAD) condemns in all forms the decision taken by legislators of Uganda and the signing of the ‘anti-gay’ law by the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
This law is a total disgrace and a clear violation of human rights. Every individual has and should have the right to decide on their sexual orientation.
As OALY-LEAD, we call on youth organisations in and out of Africa to picket outside the Embassies of Uganda throughout the world in protest against this unjust law passed and signed in Uganda.
Every global citizen should have a right to live as they see fit so long as their actions do not infringe on the rights of others. When a person chooses to be gay or lesbian, he or she does so without infringing the choice of other people and as a result, we find no fault in the freedom of choice in this regard.
The picketing and petitions shall place pressure on Uganda to re-consider its legislative position.
