The current bill would criminalize discussions of homosexuality and penalize a person who knowingly rents to a gay or lesbian person. Museveni made his comments during an appearance on CNN's Amanpour. Appearing via satellite, Museveni told host Christiane Amanpour that homosexuality was being imported into his country.Props to Christiane Amanpour for her doggedness.
