ABC News BlotterAn African leader involved in organizations that have received millions of dollars from the president's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is leading a campaign to criminalize homosexuality in Uganda.
Pastor Martin Ssempa, who runs the Makere University church in Kampala, Uganda, led a demonstration last week of at least 200 protesters, calling homosexuality "a criminal act against the laws of nature."
