When the US threatened that, Nigeria responded by saying the US is a nation filled with "Abnormals" that are trying to export homosexuality.
I think you're confusing Uganda and Nigeria, because when the president of Uganda vetoed the anti-gay bill on his desk he said:In his lengthy letter to Uganda’s parliament, reported on Friday by a Ugandan newspaper, Mr. Museveni denounced gays as “abnormal” and “disgusting” people who often practise homosexuality “for mercenary reasons.” He was alluding to a popular Ugandan theory that young people are financially induced into homosexuality.
Some women, he claimed, become lesbians because of “sexual starvation” after they failed to marry. He added: “It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people.”
Adopting a philosophical tone, he said: “The question at the core of the debate on homosexuality is: What do we do with an abnormal person? Do we kill him/her? Do we imprison him/her? Or do we contain him/her?”
On a related note: This bears quoting from the article as well:Western protests against the Ugandan anti-gay bill were undoubtedly a factor in Mr. Museveni’s decision to oppose the law, since Uganda is heavily dependent on foreign aid. Among the many protests was a strong warning from British billionaire Richard Branson, who called for businesses to boycott Uganda.
You're right.
