Abstinence in Uganda

Choice quotes from Virgins Rally to Promote Abstinence:

Alex Mumale, age 23:
    If you don't have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, they say you are crazy, don't they? Well, we say we are crazy. We are crazy about Jesus, because he is our redeemer and our shield.

First Lady Janet Museveni, speaking to the rally:
    You are all created in the image of God, and God has endowed you with the ability of self-control. We are here to guide you to a safer way of life.

Pastor Martin Sempa:
    You can sense the cynicism and animosity. We are promoting abstinence because Uganda is under attack from an agenda driven by homosexuals and Western experts who are out of touch with how the AIDS epidemic is driven in Africa.
