Uganda's Controversial Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill Passes Parliament.

Uganda's Parliament has passed one of the world's harshest anti-LGBTQ bills, which proposes tough penalties against Uganda's LGBTQ+ community, including imprisonment of up to 10 years if convicted. The sweeping legislation would criminalize "the offence of homosexuality," meaning anyone who identifies as LGBTQ or "any other sexual or gender identity that is contrary to the binary categories of male and female." The bill would also outlaw the promotion of homosexuality, meaning anyone advocating for LGBTQ rights or anyone who provides funding to organizations that do faces the threat of imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 1 billion Ugandan shillings, or about $265,900.
