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. >>> | Wednesday, January 13, 2010
