It looks as though the President of Uganda continues to heed warnings of economic sanctions should the proposed anti-gay legislation make it’s way to being law in the African nation.

According to a post on BBC:

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has distanced himself from a bill proposing execution for some gay people.

He stressed that the MP who proposed the bill, who is a member of the ruling party, did so as an individual and was not following government policy.

Mr Museveni, who admitted coming under international pressure, said the bill was now a “foreign policy issue” and would be discussed by the cabinet.

The proposals have caused a storm of criticism across the world.

Sweden has threatened to cut aid and other countries have contacted Mr Museveni directly to put their objections.

It’s all about the money perhaps, and it’s good to know that economic sanctions still play a huge part in controlling what otherwise might be catastrophic outcomes in the human rights arenas…one again, simply going to show that getting one’s attention can be as easy as taking hold of their wallet.
