Uganda's President Approves Harsh Anti-LGBTQ Law with Death Penalty.

TL;DR Summary
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has signed into law one of the world’s strictest anti-homosexuality measures, imposing capital punishment for some behaviour including having gay sex when HIV-positive, and stipulating a 20-year sentence for “promoting” homosexuality. The approval of the law comes in defiance of criticism from Western governments, businesses and human rights activists. US President Joe Biden called for the immediate repeal of the measures he slammed as “a tragic violation of universal human rights”, and threatened to cut aid and investment to the east African country.
