The World Bank on Thursday postponed a $90 million loan to Uganda's health system over a law that toughened punishment for gays, an unusual move for an institution that typically avoids wading into politics.
"We have postponed the project for further review to ensure that the development objectives would not be adversely affected by the enactment of this new law," World Bank spokesman David Theis said in an email.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed an anti-gay bill earlier this week that strengthens already strict laws against homosexuals by imposing a life sentence for certain violations and making it a crime to not report anyone who breaks the law.
The World Bank, a poverty-fighting institution based in Washington, usually refrains from getting involved in countries' internal politics or in issues such as gay rights to avoid antagonizing any of its 188 member countries.

Satan truly rules this world (at least in human affairs) that’s why seeking Christ, and relying upon Him is so important.
Situation becoming clearer by the hour.
When the Pink Triangle becomes the Pink Swastika.
Does the World Bank have any opinion on Muslim Countries and their stand on gays?
Have they postponed loans to Muslims countries that have anti-women laws?
I suspect its about depopulation.
wow a HUGE Gay Bank!
I thought such institutions existed only places like scam francisco
I guess it you want anything in this world you have to accept queers and queerdom as a part of life.
Yup.
Amen!
Life just for being gay is harsh. That said, Uganda’s basically going to go “We had this discussion last century, white boy. You don’t get to tell us how to run our country.”
So basically the World Bank will sacrifice peoples health and lives for the gay agenda.
Wow, these thugs run the ‘world bank’. Who saw that coming?
Got to consider, however, that not even the Old Testament would convict without more than one witness, and there was also an annual expiation of sin. A line was drawn between private and notorious sin. That principle is being effaced here. Just saying.
The conservative side of modern Christendom is really big on condemnation, really small on leading people out of sin. It was not an accident that Exodus International (look them up) was not in favor of this move.
‘Support’ of sodomy - it is so much more, isn’t it? Forcing it down the world’s throats. Absolutely disgusting. Forcing our acceptance of perversion on the world, in exchange for money.
And the world bank can do what it wants.
But no Islamic country has such a worry, right? Selective outrage at its finest.
