Ugandan MP Proposes Gay Death-Penalty Bill – Are American Anti-Gay Groups Responsible?

Care2.com – Posted by: Steve W

A Ugandan MP has tabled a new bill that could mean the death penalty for gay and transgender citizens convicted of “aggravated homosexuality”. The bill, which calls for citizens to tell the authorities about those they believe to be gay, has been called a prelude to “the final solution” by some Ugandan gay rights activists.

Introduced by MP David Bahati, the bill would extend Uganda’s already tough anti-gay laws to prescribe the death penalty for those charged with “aggravated homosexuality”.
