To the gay community, online evangelicals in Africa are on a witch hunt of homosexuals since most of them see homosexuality as evil and anti-godly.

On the Partners Uganda online forum, Edward Green, the director of the Aids, Prevention Research Project, Harvard Centre for Population and Development Studies says the Bill sounds dangerous and completely inhumane.

He adds that such legislation is unenforceable and would only drive homosexuality farther underground.
