Uganda Passes Controversial Bill Criminalizing Same-Sex Relations and LGBTQ Identity, Imposing Severe Penalties.

Uganda's parliament has passed a controversial bill that criminalizes same-sex relations and identifies as LGBTQ, with severe penalties including death for so-called aggravated homosexuality and life in prison for gay sex. The bill has been met with strong opposition from the LGBTQ community and human rights groups, and is expected to be signed into law by President Yoweri Museveni in the coming weeks. Human rights groups have called on the president to veto the bill, citing its potential to further endanger the LGBTQ community.
