TL;DR Summary

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni plans to finalize the controversial Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which criminalizes identifying as LGBTQ+ and suggests the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality." The bill has received widespread condemnation from around the world, including from the United Nations, the European Union, and the United States' Secretary of State. Museveni has proposed the bill be amended to offer amnesty "for those who will have come out to be helped not to punish them." It is already currently illegal to engage in same-sex relations in Uganda under section 145 of the country's penal code.
