Uganda's Anti-LGBTQ Law: Life in Prison or Death Penalty.
TL;DR Summary
Uganda's parliament has passed a new anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that punishes anyone identifying as gay or queer, and potentially people or rights groups seen as promoting LGBTQ+ identity, and would punish same-sex relations with up to life imprisonment. The legislation has been condemned by the international community, including the United Nations and the United States. Uganda passed a previous anti-homosexuality law in 2014 but the courts struck it down on procedural grounds.
