I move:

That Seanad Éireann, noting the attempts to introduce new or enforce existing anti gay legislation in certain African States, particularly in recent months Uganda and Malawi, condemns all policies and legislation which discriminate against citizens in respect of their sexual orientation, and urges the Government to communicate this attitude to those states involved.
