New Ugandan Law Includes Death Penalty for Aggravated Homosexuality, Rouses Global Condemnation

Uganda has passed a draconian anti-LGBTQ law that includes capital punishment for HIV-positive people who engage in same-sex activity.
The legislation has sparked outrage from Western governments and human rights groups who fear it will lead to violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ community.
In response, President Biden has threatened sanctions and aid cuts against Uganda if the bill is not repealed.
Despite the backlash, the law continues to enjoy broad support within Uganda, highlighting the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ rights in many African countries.
Activists plan to challenge the legislation in Uganda's courts, arguing that it violates the nation's constitution and international human rights law.
