Following his earlier utterances against the gay community, musician Bobi Wine has come out this year to make peace with them. The singer in a long statement that was posted on social media clearly stated that despite any differences in ideology, religion and sexual preferences people shouldn’t be enemies. In the same manner the gay community was overwhelmed by the message. He posted:
“In my life, I have disagreed with many people over many issues. Our opinions have differed on religion, sexual preferences, polititics and a wide range of ideologies. There are reasons why we differ in thinking ranging from the way we are brought up, our geographical locations, Social classification and the general mindset of societies where we live. That however doesn’t mean that an individual is superior or inferior to the other just because they differ in opinions about the above.
My key message this year is;”Ayawuka kundowoza yo tekimufula mulabe wo” (difference in opinion doesn’t make us enemies). Let us approach every issue with respect for one another, let us replace violence with tolerance, Yes! TOLERANCE; Let us tolerate each other no matter how far distant our opinions might differ. I believe that if we all subscribed to only one opinion,we would be damn fools. Oops I almost forgot to wish everybody a happy new year. Happy new year everyone.”
