Uganda's parliament revises anti-LGBTQ+ bill, but controversy remains.

Ugandan lawmakers have passed a new version of an anti-gay bill that removes a clause which appeared to criminalize identifying as LGBTQ. The new law prescribes the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality,” which is defined as cases of sexual relations involving people living with HIV as well as minors and other categories of vulnerable people. Although the law would no longer criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ, jail terms of up to 20 years are proposed for those who advocate or promote the rights of LGBTQ people. The bill passed by lawmakers on Tuesday will return to President Yoweri Museveni, who can sign or veto it.
