Uganda passes harsh anti-LGBTQ bill with minor amendments.

Uganda's parliament has passed one of the world's strictest anti-LGBTQ bills mostly unchanged, including provisions for long jail terms and the death penalty, after the president requested some parts of the original legislation be toned down. The provisions retained in the new bill allow for the death penalty in cases of so-called "aggravated homosexuality", a term the government uses to describe actions including having gay sex when HIV-positive. The legislation now heads back to President Yoweri Museveni, who can sign it, veto it or return it again to parliament.
