SaharaTV's Tract Thompson spoke with Ugandan MP David Bahati, the originator of the Ugandan anti-gay bill that was recently signed into law by President Museveni. MP Bahati defended this law that has sent shock waves around the world. He stated in this revealing interview that Ugandans needed to "protect their children and their culture." He also said how he disagreed with statements made against the law by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, stating that the Bible, and the Koran, supports the notion that the union of marriage is meant for a man and a woman. When asked about whether Uganda has more pressing needs, he replied, "we are making progress against HIV and mending laws to fight corruption, but we also have to handle the issue of homosexuality."
