The world's strongest anti-gay legislation was enacted by the Ugandan Parliament on Tuesday (March 21), making some offences punishable by death and imposing sentences of up to 20 years in prison for anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+.
The new law represents a further clampdown on LGBTQ+ people in a nation where same-sex relationships were previously forbidden and subject to a life sentence in jail. Reuters says it prohibits several actions, including conspiring to engage in homosexuality and encouraging and abetting homosexual behaviour.
