Bishop Eria Paul Luzinda

In light of last week’s protests and arrests, Ugandan Mukono Bishop, Eria Paul Luzinda, is urging his goverment to resist legalizing gay activities. Bishop Luzinda made the remarks last Wednesday while addressing students of Centenary Community College in Kayunga Sub-county, according to All Africa.

The College was set up by Mukono Diocese to equip students with vocational and technical skills. Gay activists last Wednesday stormed an HIV/AIDS meeting attended by President Museveni in Kampala asking the government to consider them in the planning and prevention of HIV/Aids but were arrested by the police. “I have been hearing that gays are demanding that the government should legalise their activities. This is absurd because God created a man and woman so that they can produce and fill this world,” Bishop Luzinda said.

“The government should not be tempted to legalise this backward culture which is bound to destroy this country.” “Not all that comes from Europe is superior and must be taken up by us,” Bishop Luzinda said. The bishop also urged parents to value technical and vocational education as one way of reducing unemployment levels in the country. He advised students to fully utilise their time at school if they are to have a bright and successful future. Bishop Luzinda commended the administration for renovating the school structures which he said had been neglected by the past administration.
