Uganda's Anti-LGBTQ+ Sentiment Sparks Refugee Crisis and Corporate Hypocrisy.

LGBTQ+ people in Uganda are seeking refuge in neighboring Kenya as anti-gay sentiment grows following the signing of a new law prescribing the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality." The law has been widely condemned by rights activists and others abroad. While the new law does not criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ+, it prescribes the death penalty for cases of sexual relations involving people infected with HIV, as well as with minors and other categories of vulnerable people. Kenya hosts an estimated 1,000 LGBTQ+ refugees and is the only country in the region offering asylum based on sexual orientation.
