In a recent press conference, Ugandan Minister of Ethics and Integrity reportedly claimed that homosexuality is caused by pornography stating, "Pornography leads to homosexuality. I'm happy that, finally, a bill to eliminate pornography in Uganda will be ready to punish the promoters of this vice."

While Ugandan evangelical leaders claim homosexuality in their country is a form of Western colonialism, observers such as Kapya Kaoma, an Anglican priest from Zambia, say that homophobia is a Western export to Africa and note that Africans promoting antigay hatred in Uganda and Sub-Saharan Africa have ties to American evangelists such as Rick Warren. As Talk To Action reported in December 2009,

a charismatic network overseen by Warren's doctoral dissertation advisor, C. Peter Wagner, has played a major role in politically organizing and inspiring the Ugandan legislators who have spearheaded the anti-gay bill.

Both in their extreme anti-homosexual animus and sexual repressiveness, the proposed Ugandan legislation, both against gays and against allegedly immoral forms of cultural expression and media, are more severe than analogous laws passed by Adolf Hitler's Third Reich prior to the onset of World War Two. And, some very influential American churches have allied themselves with African leaders who have proposed this sort of legislation.
