Ugandan politician Bobi Wine has refuted claims that he is gay after reports that his presidential campaign is being funded by homosexual groups.

“I am married to a woman you all know, it is a shame, it is disrespectful and I feel insulted to be involved in the sex talk when we have few hours to elections,” he told a local television station.

According to Daily Monitor, the youthful politician and pop-star singer insisted he is a cultural man, and termed the talk ‘diversionary’.

“Driving me to such talk is diversionary. I would rather use the time to talk about our plans for the people of this country (in the event we win the elections),” he said.

“We are supported by Ugandans. Museveni can talk about whatever because he does not have anything else to tell Ugandans.”

President Museveni, who has declared same-sex relationships illegal in the country, has accused homosexuals of funding Bobi Wine.
