Life Site news Reports: His Excellency says bishops in Uganda are very much aware of the outside pressure to conform to LGBT ideology and have been discussing ways to “resist” it. He mentions raising awareness among young people in particular, since they represent such a substantial part of the Ugandan population and feel that pressure to conform more than anyone else.

“These young people are being attacked … by this new behavior. So we have decided [to] bring this awareness to the schools, [to] go to the parents and see how they can help … their children not to follow this way,” he says. “But the pressure is too much, because it comes with money … comes with the schools. It’s on the media, it’s on the TVs. And we have no control.”



However, Ssemogerere adds, Church leaders in Uganda can exercise some control over what is taught and tolerated seminaries. He tells me there is a “zero tolerance” policy toward sodomy and that bishops are working to ensure LGBT ideology is “not embraced” in seminaries.
