TL;DR Summary

Uganda's LGBTQ community is in shock and fear being arrested after parliament passed a new law that makes it a crime to identify as gay, and imposes tough sentences that include the death penalty in certain cases.

The law would undermine fundamental human rights and reverse gains in the fight against HIV/AIDS, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
