Uganda's parliament passes tough anti-LGBTQ bill • FRANCE 24 English

Uganda's parliament on Tuesday passed sweeping anti-gay legislation which proposes tough new penalties for same-sex relationships, following a highly charged and chaotic session. Homosexuality is already illegal in the conservative East African nation and it was not immediately clear what new penalties had been agreed upon. FRANCE 24's Clément di Roma tells us more.

That’s not "tough legislation". What we are seeing now in Uganda, is State Criminality.

I genuinely don’t get homophobia. I have many petty prejudices, some rational and some irrational, but hating on someone for whom they’re dating isn’t one of them. For one thing, no one consciously *chooses* who they fancy, but even if it *were* a conscious decision, it still wouldn’t bother me one iota a man getting with another consenting man or a woman getting with another consenting woman. What I resent is other people being able to dictate by law what another must do or not do in this matter. I always think in these cases: How would the lawmakers/homophobes like it if *they* were told with whom they could or couldn’t get? I don’t think they would like it at all and they’d be right not to like it. To me, being homophobic is as pointless, irrational and stupid as feeling resentful of someone for digging Uranus because you’re not an astronomer.
