“In this case, I am expressing my opinion on the matter. I don’t subscribe to ‘gayism’ as a choice because I am not attracted to men. But I don’t want to go into people’s bedrooms, I don’t want to see what they are doing. If you want to be gay, then it should be your own problem. I won’t go ahead and be a persecutor of those who want to be together as man and man or woman and woman. I think thee is so much hypocrisy about it and we have been excited. Emotions have been excited over it that we are not sober. I honestly do not see a hullabaloo(commotion) about it. We should allow them,” he said in an interview.
Some members of parliament have filed a bill against LGBT in the nation and if it is accepted it will make all homosexual acts in the nation a crime. The Christian and Islamic communities have said that they are behind the bill and that voting should be done publicly. Others who are advocates of the LGBT community want the bill to be rejected as they believe it infringes the rights of others in society.
