Richard Branson says "he wouldn't do business in Uganda due to their dreadful anti-gay laws and urges others to follow suit.." One wonders if he doesn't do business in India, Russia, China and Middle East. Is this bullying or cultural imperialism?
-----------------------------------

I have been courted by various people and government officials to do business in Uganda.  I was seriously considering it.

 

However, the dreadful witch hunt against the gay community and lifetime sentences means it would be against my conscience to support this country.

 

I would urge other companies worldwide to follow suit. Uganda must reconsider or find it being ostracised by companies and tourists worldwide.

The Economist published a graphic showing where homosexuality is illegal in 2013, which makes for distressing viewing. More than 80 countries worldwide criminalise homosexuality, with the death penalty in place in five countries and areas of Nigeria and Somalia.

Governments must realise that people should be able to love whoever they want.  It is not for any government (or anyone else) to ever make any judgements on people's sexuality. They should instead celebrate when people build loving relationships that strengthen society, no matter who they are.
