Uganda's Anti-LGBTQ Bill: President Consults Lawmakers and Faces Global Pressure.

Ugandan President Museveni will meet with lawmakers to discuss a strict anti-LGBTQ bill that would impose the death penalty for so-called aggravated homosexuality and 20-year sentences for “promoting” homosexuality. The bill, which passed in March, appears to be the first to outlaw merely identifying as LGBTQ. Human rights activists and the United States government say the bill is among the harshest pieces of legislation to target sexual minorities anywhere in the world. Its passage has already triggered a wave of arrests, evictions and mob attacks against Uganda’s LGBTQ community.
