By Fred Muwanguzi                                                                                                                                             Minister of ethics and integrity a catholic priest Simon Lukodo who said nobody would block the anti homosexuality bill on valentine's day tuesday stormed and ordered for the arrest of some members who had gathered for capacity building workshop at the Imperial Resort Hotel, later he blocked the LGBT conference some us narrowly survived being arrested and had to flee for our dear lives.
He ordered the management of the five star hotel ,Imperial Resort Beach Hotel to kick us outside and the police to arrest some members on ground that we were promoting gayism.
He told us that what we are practicing is illgeal and unacceptable in Uganda. He told us to disperse immediately and
these were his words
' As a minister of ethics, i have today decided to close this conference because it's illegal. Homosexuality is not allowed in Uganda, pack your bags and go home now. He even accused us of recuriting children into gaylife.Those that tried to resist were arrested.
Minister Lokodo is using the current law of crime against natural order and its seems what Minister Lokodo 's trying to do is to preempt, the yet to be passed the Anti Homosexuality act which is set to target the promotion of homosexuality
After we had left and gone into hiding, i was later told by a friend working at the hotel that Lokodo grilled the hotel manager for allowing the secret meeting yet they knew that it was aganist the law. The hotel staff had to kneel begging for mercy, He later pardoned them on condition that they will never allow us again.He went further threaten punitive action if his orders were to be disobeyed in future.This will not deter us from fighting for our rights i know that this battle may involve sacrifice
