DC Agenda, an American newspaper, reported on December 19 that ‘Mr Museveni had assured the US State Department of his willingness to veto the Bill, in case Parliament passed it’. Religious leaders and HIV/Aids activists handed a copy of the petition with signatures almost half a million, collected mainly through the Internet from all over the world, including Uganda, to Speaker on Monday to drop the debate on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, according to the local news paper.   Public   Linda Groeneweg 15 posts 04 March 2010  11:05    Quote Re: “Should we consider the Anti-Homosexuality bill in Uganda a foreign policy or internal policy?” Read more about the petition and the influence of international critics http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8542341.stm     Show all rows Page  1
