A Uganda minister has claimed President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron ‘must not love their children’ if they let them live in a country where same-sex marriage is legal.

Simon Lokodo, the Minister for Ethics, has claimed the two political leaders are ‘not responsible parents’ for allowing them to grow up in a society where LGBTI have rights.

‘Homosexuality is not African. There was never any word for homosexuality here in this country before now,’ he told GQ Magazine.

‘This is foreign behavior.

‘I am very sympathetic with Cameron and Obama. They are obviously not responsible. They are both heterosexuals and have children.

‘They must not love their children, otherwise why would they let their children grow up in such a society? They are not responsible parents. They can not love their children enough.’

Lokodo has claimed before homosexuality is a ‘sickness’, and gay rights activists ‘implant perverted feelings’ in children.

Edwin Sesange, Ugandan gay rights activist, pointed out there is so much history that proves homosexuality is African. He suggested Lokodo read up on King Mwanga II (1884 to 1888) who is widely reported to have had sex with his male subjects.

‘I’m so disappointed a man claiming to be a man of God saying such words,’ he told Gay Star News.

‘Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama clearly love their kids and they clearly love humanity.

‘They are known for supporting gay rights around the world and it is not anyone’s position to suggest otherwise.’
