Uganda takes moves against sexual immorality

The African nation of Uganda has boldly taken steps against sexual immorality of the type that is gaining more and more acceptance in the West. Notice the following:

February 19, 2014

KAMPALA — The Ugandan government said the president has signed into law sweeping and controversial anti-pornography legislation that outlaws miniskirts and other types of revealing clothing.

The new law covers a range of issues related to pornography, including child pornography, pornographic publications and even suggestive music videos.

But what is grabbing headlines and stirring debate is the dress code. The law makes it illegal to wear revealing clothing, including tops that show too much cleavage and miniskirts, defined as anything above the knee.

Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo said Tuesday that it is now forbidden to wear any clothing that could be deemed sexually exciting.

“If you dress in such a way that you irritate the mind and excite the people then you are badly dressed; if you draw the attention of the other person outside there with a malicious purpose of exciting and stimulating him or her into sex,” he said. New Law Bans Miniskirts in Uganda

U.S. President Barack Obama says he is “deeply disappointed” that Uganda is about to enact legislation criminalizing homosexuality.

In a statement Sunday, Obama said Uganda’s anti-homosexuality law would be a “step backward … and reflect poorly” on the African nation’s “commitment to protecting the human rights of its people.”

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni told members of his party on Friday that he will sign the law. It calls for harsh sentences for homosexuality, including life imprisonment for what it describes as aggravated homosexuality. Homosexuality is illegal in 37 African nations.

Uganda is to be congratulated for taking stands against improperly dressed females and the homosexual agenda. The President of the USA should not condemn Uganda for that. Of course, he has encouraged his daughters to emulate one involved in celebrity pornography (see Pornography: A scourge on society), so the fact that he has issues with Uganda taking certain moral stands should not come as a surprise.

As far as female apparel, the Bible teaches:

8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation…(1 Timothy 2:8-9)

The Western nations no longer seem to highly prize modesty in female apparel (though female politicians tend to remain modest in their dress). Immodesty in dress is now mainly considered to be acceptable or simply daring, as opposed to being immoral by many.

What is considered to be acceptable dress for public display (mainly for females) continues to the trend to show more skin, more cleavage (and more and more women have decided to have “breast enhancement” apparently for display), and more of their figures. This is not good. And this is not just limited to television or the movies.

Western leaders should heed and pay attention to the following:

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)

Pornography is not harmless. Increased acceptance of it will lead to disaster in the future. It is good that some in Uganda have taken a stand against some of the sexual immorality that it growing in acceptance in the West.
