Homosexuality is taboo in African countries and illegal in 37. He wants to sign it with the full witness of the international media to demonstrate Uganda's independence in the face of Western pressure and provocation,&quot; Ugandan Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo told Reuters. Museveni's decision to sign the bill comes less than a week since he announced plans to put the bill on hold to give scientists a chance to prove that homosexuality could be triggered by genes and is not a &quot;lifestyle choice&quot;.</p><br clear="all"/>
