| 95 per cent Ugandans oppose homosexuality |
| By Rodney Muhumuza (Monitor) Source: www.mask.org.za August 23, 2007: The majority of Ugandans do not support demands by gay activists that homosexuality be decriminalised, according to a new survey. Some 95 per cent of Ugandans said homosexuality should not be legalised, while a paltry 4 per cent said they support its legalisation, a new Steadman poll shows. And at least 1 per cent said they do not have an opinion on the subject, according to the poll, which was conducted at the end of July. At least 500 adult respondents were interviewed in what is called the East Africa Social Political Economic And Cultural (SPEC) Barometer, a weekly Steadman Group survey that gathers opinions across East Africa on pertinent issues. The interviews, conducted at household level in Kampala, involved respondents whose education background ranged from the 'never gone to school' category to holders of post university qualifications. |

| There’s no international gay and lesbian conference in ghana |
| By Wendy Landau (BTM Human Right Researcher) September 6, 2006: The government of Ghana had, last week, banned an ‘international gay and lesbian conference’ that was alleged to be scheduled to begin in the Eastern Regional capital, Koforidua, on 23 September. At this stage, Behind The Mask has been unable to establish any information regarding such planned conference. But what has been learnt is that the reaction to this “international conference of gays and lesbians” is the latest incident in a growing climate of homophobia in Ghana. The government’s action has heightened a homophobic hysteria which seems to be part of the spirit of the times this year, as indicated by recent events in Nigeria (anti-gay bill), Cameroon (media outings and detentions) and Uganda (media outing).
