A Ugandan with a big mouth, an excellent mind, this is my forum to mull over worldly affairs – from the great and good to the sublime and ridiculous.

The gay slant will, of course, be obvious for the simple reason that gay is … happy, sunny, colorful, pretty – all the things that this blog is. We shall thus not make any apologies for being happy, pretty, gay  – not even in many parts of Africa where being gay can make you sad and morose.

  3. At last, a thread that is still open. I was impressed by your post begging for people to stop claiming homosexuals are persecuted hear and in fear for their lives. However I would like to clarify celibacy does not cause sexual abuse of minors, see the evidence

    Anglicans (not celibate) Study of Reported Child Sexual Abuse in the Anglican Church u]www.anglican.org.au/…/.

    SECONDLY, as a seeker of the truth, you might want to listen a bit more to the Catholic Church’s side of things.

    In case you did not know, the Church is pursuing a path to weed out this vice. When he visited Australia during his tenure, the Pope Emeritus Benedict 16 said we should report sexually abusive clerics DIRECTLY to the police as we would with anyone else. It is true more emphaisis has been put on protecting the image of the Church than on protecting the vulnerable and ministering to the victims. Benedict XVI also mandated each Diocese and each parish should develop and implement policies designed to protect the vulnerable. So, Catholics, lets all ask our Parish Councils and Parish Priests what policies they have in place.

    The investigation announced by the Archbishop can be accessed via your Parish Priest. If you get no joy go to the Ecclesial Court at Lubaga Cathedral next to the museum and ask for Fr Andrew Kato Kasirye).If you prefer you can also go to the Papal Nuncio (ambassador) at Mbuya (opposite the barracks). Just tell them what it is about and you will be seen.

    ANOTHER THING you MAY not know is that the 2009 public allegations against Fr Musaala (and other priests) were not the first – others went through the official channels. He was then put under investigation. The Archbishop’s recent decisions following that process are the trigger for Fr Musaala’s outburst.

    FINALLY, see this brief piece on Youtube.

    I cannot vouch for its accuracy but the producer says his father is called Alexander Basima and in 2012 he gave his address as

    1 Lancefield House, Nunhead Lane Peckham Rye SE15 3UB London UK.

    I read your piece on Mubiru and there was a lot in it about his abuse of position. Does this yardstick not aply to people you happen to be friends with?

    God bless you.
