WASHINGTON DC: US President Barack Obama has warned his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni that relationship between the two nations would be complicated if Uganda passes a proposed law against homosexuality. Here is the full statement from President Obama:

“As a country and a people, the United States has consistently stood for the protection of fundamental freedoms and universal human rights.  We believe that people everywhere should be treated equally, with dignity and respect, and that they should have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, no matter who they are or whom they love.
