The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has led a group of  global legislators meeting at the 139th Inter Parliamentary Union Assembly in Geneva in opposing plans by pro-gay nations to introduce the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender agenda.

Representatives from the pro-gay nations had moved an amendment of the IPU rules to have debate on the rights of homosexuals even after objections from mainly Muslim and African members.

However, the Ugandan delegation led by the Speaker of Parliament, Kadaga, rallied many legislators in different geopolitical groups to support the motion, which could allow the Assembly to amend many issues in the committee report that had already been adopted by a smaller group of pro-gay supporters.

President Gabriela Cuevas Barron informed delegates that the results of the vote on the motion would be followed and no further motion will be allowed.
