Uganda: Anti-gay activists protest as commonwealth summit opens

Scores of anti-gay activists protested in Kampala Friday minutes after Britain's Queen Elizabeth II opened the summit of Commonwealth heads of state. Demonstrators accused western countries of helping to spread the practice on the African continent. The biennial conference, which is being attended by 48 heads of state and government representatives from the 53-nation club of countries formerly under British rule, will examine the issues of governance, human rights, environment and development.
