The different views of homosexuality of President Yoweri Museveni and President Barrack Obama.

President Obama has pointed out different views since he first ran for senate in 2004, saying that he supports marriage of same sex. In 2006, he had different views saying that marriage decisions should be left to the state as they have always been. President Museveni says that homosexuality is against the African culture and even though sex matters are usually bilateral and not multilateral, marriage of the same sex should not be allowed. 

He proved to be serious on ensuring that same sex marriages are not allowed in Uganda by signing a bill that allows up to fourteen years of imprisonment on Ugandan citizens found committing such an act. 

Since he first came into the lime light while running for the Illinois Senate seat in 2004, President Obama’s views on homosexuality have been changing. 

In December 2010 he said that his feelings on the issue are constantly evolving. In 2006, he said that marriage issues should be left to the state to decide as they have always been, thus making it unclear his stand on the issue. NBC's Brian Williams and Chuck Todd reported that the President supported gay marriages. The president was quoted, in 2004 saying that “marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." At that time, he also indicated that civil unions were adequate for gays and lesbians. 

He contended that the difference between marriage and civil unions was partly just a matter of “semantics.” These sentiments have been backed up by his recent views on the issue where he presses for gay marriages to be legalized even by the African countries, which have been reluctant on the issue. Obama said, "My personal philosophy is that as a Christian, I see no contradiction with embracing same-sex couples as part of our community. That's my Christian ethos. But I think others within the Christian faith can feel very differently about it," writes Tom Curry, msnbc.com National Affairs Writer.

President Museveni however, maintains that homosexuality is against the laws and practices of the African culture. He urges Africans to not be deceived by emulating the rotten Western morals. In his defense, President Museveni says sex matters are supposed to be bilateral when it comes to the African culture and not multilateral, whether homosexual or heterosexual. He said that activist should respect the confidentiality of sex according to our culture and traditions. 

He also added that he would investigate on the claims of harassment and exposure of the gays in the community, that were brought forward by Kerry Kennedy the president of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights., who was leading a delegation of USA human rights activists. President Museveni recently signed the bill against homosexuality in the country where anyone caught practicing homosexuality serves a jail term of up to fourteen years.

According to the bible, homosexuality is a sin that is punishable. In Leviticus 20:13, homosexuals are said to have committed a detestable act and must be put to death since it’s a capital offense. In the book of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, those that indulge in sexual sins, including homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God unless they are cleansed. In the present day, cultures, traditions, beliefs and even people’s behaviors have changed. Sexual orientations of individuals should be a personal matter.
