Moment Ugandan MPs pass controversial anti-LGBTQ+ bill

Members of parliament in Uganda have passed a bill that would make homosexual acts punishable by death, attracting strong condemnation from rights campaigners.

Nearly all the 389 legislators voted on Tuesday for the anti-homosexuality bill that introduces capital and life imprisonment sentences for gay sex and 'recruitment, promotion and funding' of same-sex 'activities'. The bill will now go to President Yoweri Museveni, who can veto it or sign it into law. But in a recent speech he appeared to express support for the bill. The bill marks the latest in a string of setbacks for LGBTQ+ rights in Africa, where homosexuality is illegal in most countries. Human rights campaigners have condemned the move to enact the harsh law, describing it as 'hate legislation'.

I can't believe Uganda just banned all of the Guardian News team.

Ugandan MP's pass a bill that has the backing of the majority of Ugandan people. Living in the UK, I can't remember the last time the same thing happened here.

Uganda saw all the LGBTQ madness in the west and chose violence 🤣

They listened to their people who wanted this. Imagine if our government did the same.

I think that whatever happens in Africa is Africas choice, we all need to respect their decisions weather you agree or not,

It’s their country they do what they want. 99% of Middle East countries have the same law. Saudi Arabia and Qatar for example basically have the same max but the west don’t say anything

Just because The West does it, doesn't mean the entire world has to go along with it. Respect for Uganda.

This wouldn't have happened if the LGBT community had stopped taking things too far.
