Uganda's President Sends Anti-LGBTQ Bill Back to Parliament for Revision.

TL;DR Summary
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has sent a bill containing some of the world's harshest anti-LGBTQ legislation back to parliament for "strengthening". The bill would impose the death penalty for so-called aggravated homosexuality and 20-year sentences for "promoting" homosexuality. The United States, United Nations, European Union, and a long list of corporate giants have condemned the bill. Museveni is a strong opponent of LGBTQ rights and called gay people "deviations from normal" last month. The bill's passage last month with near unanimous support in parliament has already triggered a wave of arrests, evictions, and mob attacks against LGBTQ Ugandans.
