Uganda's Harsh New Anti-LGBTQ Laws
TL;DR Summary
Uganda's parliament has passed a new law that criminalizes identifying as LGBTQ+, imposing a punishment of up to 10 years in prison. The legislation targets an array of activities, including promoting and abetting homosexuality, conspiracy to engage in homosexuality, and recognizing sexual relations between persons of the same sex. The bill is expected to go to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for assent. Human Rights Watch warns that the law would violate Ugandans' rights to freedom of expression and association privacy, equality, and nondiscrimination.
