Uganda has signed a bill that further bans homosexuality. Based on
source, a man was even burned to death to be gay shortly. The bill's
original 2009 version, named "Kill The Gays," went in terms of calling
for the death penalty for many homosexual acts; that provision was
shelved after international furore.
Under its latest
iteration, anybody who conducts marriage ceremonies for same-se-x
couples faces seven years behind bars. Failure to report homosexual
activity to police can also be criminalized. Doctors who treat gays,
landlords who rent them property and those suspected to be LBGTQ are at
the mercy of five-year prison terms under the bill.
