There have been a lot of anti-LGBTQ+ laws introduced in 2023 but this is by far the worst yet. Uganda has just approved its anti-homosexuality bill where some acts remain punishable by death. This is yet another country advocating for the death penalty for homosexuality. There is a worry trend of homophobia and queerphobia globally and on this video I tell you why I think Britain has a lot to answer for with why these laws still exist around the world.

We all used to laugh at that “Why are you gay” Ugandan interview meme but no one’s laughing now
@@FlameOnTheBeat yeah and the best part was how the interviewer was actually pretty open minded and was trying to learn and be respectful to the point that he actually called out the pastor’s disrespect, but came off as homophobic because of his ignorance. I started rewatching the interview rn because of commenting this. The best part of that interview to me was “the homosexual acronym ‘LGBTQ’ where’s the ‘H’?”
I never found it funny. But then I have the emotional context to know it was a red flag people wouldn't take seriously.
@@Firegen1 yeah comedy’s subjective. There’s a lot of comedy about minorities that I’m a part of that I probably wouldn’t find funny, but others would. But yeah it did reveal a lot about Ugandan public opinion on queer issues and the majority of African countries in general.
I'm laughing the degenerates are dying
me still laughing
Us queers better get use to owning guns and knowing how to use them
Disgusting. The world never ceases to disappoint me.
I really don't understand why this is happening. We made such progress. I thought we were past this. But then again I thought we were past the argument about abortion, too, so 😒😮💨
It’s an African government, they’re known for their ignorance and hyper-conservatism. Need I remind you of a certain South African leader suggesting a shower could cure HIV?
There have been several evangelical christians from the US (and potentially elsewhere) that have worked their way into friendship with leaders in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa, who have influenced these laws. This law is a direct result of the meddling of religious fundamentalist American homophobes.
Uganda is a under developed country with high poverty rates, malnutrition, low education rates, etc. Religious extremism thrives in such conditions. It will take several decades before the country starts to become accepting
Russian and Chinese influence also creep into these African nations, unfortunately. The anti-Western stance is becoming very prevalent in Africa (which is partly justified with colonial past) and LGBT rights are something that is perceived and presented as sort of "Western decadence". I surely hope things get better there, but it seems unlikely, especially with influences from those authoritarian nations.
One word:. R E L I G I O N 🕍⛪🛐
When we're talking about Uganda (& some other subsaharan African nations) the US has also had an influence.
Some of our most radical, most reactionary prominent preachers & church organizations (notably from the US Evangelical movement) have targeted majority Christian African nations for propagandizing.
Spreading anti-LGBT sentiment has been one of their major goals.
Sadly yes. Someone I knew peripherally in the 1990s who attended my old church is one of these people. And the former church will not issue a statement condemning him which in my opinion is de facto approval and I am furious.
Yup, this is all because of the Christian missionaries spreading hate and bigotry to African countries. Shame
Yeah, whether it’s Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, etc., they’ve all done their job in spreading hatred towards LGBT people
True america funds both sides of the divide....it's laughable and not small amounts....it's fashionable to be an evangelical or a gay rights activist both pay hondesomely ....Thank you america
Blatant anti religious propaganda.
My heart goes out to all the lgbtq+ people living in places that don’t accept them
Why?
@@bexie6791 Because it’s awful to live in places where you’re not accepted. Places where just being yourself is a crime.
@@mssecret respect people voice in pailment ok people are different
Sharia law now
There is no space for gays in Africa nor the diaspora
As a half African I keep screaming inside. We are fighting in world where fundamentalists are so f###king loud. Every time I feel like a tiny bit of movement with my writing and reaching out to part of my heritage, it's like knocked over by tsunami. Thanks Dr Carthy, it also reminder it's only a page turn since it was in the UK.
We have to remember that Uganda was viewed by the British as the forefront between the spread of Islam in Africa and British rule, where the Brits gave the most militant tribes in Northern Uganda power in the country and worked as hard as possible to spread Evangelical Christianity.
@Ho Athanatos Thank you for that. My experiences stem from the south of the continent so I'll take an L on not knowing more of that history. I want and feel the need to learn more
Uganda sold it's people, what else did you expect
In 2002 I was part of an international non-profit organization opening an HIV/AIDS clinic in Uganda called "Ithembalabantu" (The People's Hope). When we landed in Uganda to open the clinic we were met on the tarmac by Ugandan military but luckily we had members of the US Congress with us on the flight and although we were intimidated we were allowed to proceed. The clinic was just cinder block walls and a wooden roof with running water but dozens of people were already camped out waiting to receive HIV medications, some of them had been waiting there for days. Speaking to many people there I heard the same story: their village elders did not believe in western medicine and told their people the way rid themselves of their HIV infection was to have sex with a virgin. This led to the gang rape of under-age girls in the villages and they were the primary people that were waiting for treatment. Clearly their mindset has still not evolved.
That is horrifying. Similar to stories of girls being trafficked in Deli. The groups of men will bid for a virgin to rape in order to be guaranteed they will not contract STDs. Keeps the traffic of young girls constantly high.
I think its totally evolved
What are your intentions to tell lies, the words you're using, and the culture are not in Uganda. Please stop this.
You're right. I stayed with family who used to live in SA and the amount of child r!&£ to "cure HIV" was off the charts. My cousin worked in a hospital in Jo'burg and saw it all. And people obviously cover up this and worse aka village justice, etc, as "culture". I wasn't allowed to go out! No freedom, couldn't stop at traffic lights and when my cousin and I did, we were approached so ran a red light. Idk
@@arinagereciano178 wow, do your research before shaming others
It's has nothing to do with the UK Uganda is it own country and its own laws
Don’t live in Uganda if you don’t agree with the laws
Religion has also a lot of influence there (like in whole Africa)
And these religions were introduced from outside the region by colonizers and sl*ve traders. Africa would have been more peaceful if they just kept their original traditional beliefs
The rights for spiritual beliefs should not come before the right to live. I am thankful I live in Australia, and in the last month we had world pride. I’m thankful that I can live openly as a bisexual, homo romantic individual. But with that comes at knowing that other people of my community are being actively discriminated against and in some cases are put to death.
Your right to swing your arms ends at the tip of my nose. The right to spiritual beliefs ends when those beliefs demand harmful action. I am allowed to believe in fairies, but if I claim fairies told me to kill anyone with brown eyes that doesn't mean I'm allowed, legally or morally, to do so.
Yuck says most people
@@franklinloll2229 You're delusional. Most people are pro LGBT+.
Personally I just implore all people on the side of human rights to just get the hell out of there
God said REPENT OR PERISH. If you are against uganda's stand against homosexuality then that means you are against the god of the Bible, and you are going to hell when you die.
@@RunToJesusChrist yes me and my friends will so we're good thank you sir!
Why is the world suddenly attacking LGBT people all over!! This is terrifying. I'm so afraid for the people in Uganda. It hurts my heart that this is has been passed.
I'm in Ohio, USA and they put up two laws, one anti-trans bill for children that would make them detransition in 180 days if its passed and ban healthcare
the other is an actual anti-trans holiday. March 12 would be the celebration of "detransition awarness day"...
They never stopped attacking us. This isn't new, this is business as usual.
it's not sudden, life inprisonment or the death penalty have been enforced particularly in many african and asian countries for a long time
@@pepepoopsonthefarright7531 I mean the world, like I said, attacking. Not just african and asian counties. The US alone has put up hundreds of antilgbt/antitrans bills this year. I know the UK is seeing similar things. We haven't hit life imprisonment or death yet but it's coming. The whole world is turning against the lbgt
Lbqt is aberrant, unnatural behavior. Traditional Uganda has had enough of it.
Well done Uganda💪
I have seen sickening things on an uncensored media site I used to be admin on which were from the Middle East, South America and Africa. Disgusting vile acts so heinous, they would not cause this demonisation of the UK.
I’m just speechless. I can’t believe how the world just seems to keep devolving. Humanity seems to just want the LGBTQ community to disappear… I’m heartbroken
🙄And you barely realize? 🤦🏾♂️
Good
As a heterosexual Australian, I’m appalled to hear this is happening in fellow commonwealth countries.
It’s also stating the obvious, but looking at the map and paying attention to politics, there is a strong correlation between anti LGBT+ attitudes, and right wing politics and predominantly religious countries.
our countries our laws
Then call for the mass expulsion of Afrikan and Caribbean nations from the commonwealth.
Every country has the agency to determine their societal norms.
Obviously Uganda has no other problems. They have time for this.
You mean just like Americans schools busy teaching their children "The Pronouns " instead of maths , science. Literature...
Great work Uganda.
This is terrifying. 😢
And brainwashing people to turn homosexual hedonists isn't terrifying?!!!
What the f actually is ' aggravated homosexuality'? I've an Ugandan friend that's been living here for about 8 years, and is gay. One of the most respectful, nicest guy I know. Some of his stories of his hometown, are so not nice to hear.
Can you please send him a visa so that he doesn't our children are saved from being damaged , don't pay us or what and the airport guys ready to help you even I can drive him at the airport , just know that if you take him out of Uganda you are saving Uganda's children , thanks please 😅
@@kisadaphine6060 He is here working in Ireland, and while we are far from perfect on the subjects, we made a lot of progress over the last ~25 years. That some of that progress is eroding, is greatly concerning, it's from the usual vocal minority that have gotten megaphones from social media >
As an straight man, I'm speechless. I'm so sorry for all the LGBTQ+ people around the world, for what they/you have to endure. This is not right! All people have to be treated with respect, no matter of their orientation. Hearing this makes me kinda ashame, to be straight...
Why is incest illegal in America? Why is polygamy illegal in America?
My dear friend which country from you belong
@@KailashchandVerma-fm7cx If people want to make homosexuality legal then why isn't consensual incest and polygamy legal?
Being put to death for being Jewish
Being put to death for being lgbtq
Fascist regymes will always have this superiority complex.
I am sure many right-wing governments will be looking to Uganda for pointers.
And do what? This foolish mentality of yours about ""human right"" won't work in Africa, bark, cry and shout we don't care. Long Live Uganda. God Loves Uganda and Africa as a whole. We are celebrating
I’ll never understand why anyone would wish death upon another individual, harmlessly living their life the way they choose. Imagine a new law against heterosexual relationships..
Because they are damaging our children's butts , forcing them recruiting them , at least first get all news don't relay on America's reporters , you can't even get a ruler and measure their hate when other country decide not to do their dirty games . But in Uganda we are ready to wipe away all Alphabet letters , untill it's a save place for our children to grow without being polluted at a young age
I am legitimately terrified for LGBTQ+ people living in many nations, including Uganda. As someone who lives in the US, I both feel my privilege and am scared for my and my fellow LGBTQ+ people's future. I live in Colorado, where our governor is gay, so I have some faith that any local ant-LGBTQ+ legislation will be vetoed. However, hold no such hope for any protection long-term. Other states are currently being horrible in their own areas. Plus, with the Supreme Court being what it is after Trump, they'll uphold all of these discriminatory laws. The only hope we have is President Biden's executive order power to protect us. Another presidential election is coming up soon, and if he loses, we'll likely immediately lose our rights. If he (or another Democrat) wins, we'll still have to live in fear because Supreme Court Justices are a fucking lifetime appointment. That law was written when the life-expectency was in like your fifties, so people served in the courts for like 10 years MAX. We're screwed for DECADES now because of fucking Trump.
Gays are not discriminated on in the US. They are protected by the same laws as everyone else.
@One world, One Love Not really. And trans people are definitely discriminated against. The state I live I you can totally lose your job based on your sexuality or gender identity.
@One world, One Love In addition to what Kira said, you can be denied healthcare (even ambulance and emergency services). Your CHILDREN can even be denied care! Literal newborn babies have been turned away from doctor's offices because they had gay parents. Now legislation is being proposed that will jail any parent that helps their child receive treatment for gender dysphoria or helps them transition (even if it's just social transitioning by using correct pronouns, letting children dress how they feel comfortable, addressing kids by the correct name, letting children use the correct bathroom, etc). Parents can be charged even if their kids don't have any "medical intervention" like puberty blockers or hormone replacement therapy. Just doing minor public things to support their trans kid is enough to make them lose custody of all of their children, get fined, and/or a jail sentence. Conversion therapy is also still legal in many places for both adults and minors. Members of the Supreme Court have also said that if a case questioning the legality of same-sex marriage reaches them, they'll repeal the right of same-sex people to get married, making gay marriage illegal again nationwide. Please do some research.
@Mandi Mateer ♿️ Well said. I was going to go into detail but you nailed it. I'm also trans and I'm terrified that some law will be passed to take my kids from me based on my identity or completely ban gender affirming care for all. I honestly don't know what to do! I'm early in my transition but HRT has made me feel better than I ever have in my life! I can't go back. Much of my anxiety and depression has vanished! Truly scary times we are in. It's amazing how different things can be just a state away. I live in Wyoming and it's terrible here.
@Kira Oh my god. That must be terrifying. I know the ACLU and other organizations have started legal defense funds if you ever need help. I will send all the positivity I can that you never need to use them, though. It's horrible that we have to even worry about this. I'm never having kids, but I do have 16 nieces, nephews, and nibblings to fear for with this. I'm a queer enby who doesn't use HRT, as I mostly experience gender euphoria and not dysphoria, but I have trans nephews, nieces, and nibblings who do use HRT (they're all adults who had to wait to transition because our family is a bunch of bigots). Three of them live in Colorado and are relatively protected for the time being, but I'm terrified for one of them because she lives in South Dakota and just started estrogen. Her rights could be smashed at any moment. She's also in so much physical danger like trans women statistically are. Transitioning and support from communities and loved ones saves lives! I wish lawmakers cared. I hope the country turns around, because no one deserves this. For the so-called "land of the free" our civil liberties, and those of our children, sure are being stripped away.
You better not drop the soap Blessed Be.
Henry VIII was one to speak on sexual morals. 🤨
Even in this comment section there are people defending this law :(
Yes🙋♀️I'm one of them. Supporting 110%
Oh dear I support the bill to pass so that our children get justice for the damage caused, you can't wake up and tell me that my children will wear pampers for the rest of my live and they I should not say about LGBTQ? 😅 Are you people really normal ? Do you have any value left in you? Do you care about your children? I hear human rights who defineds them? Ok and who told them that Americans rights will work in Uganda ? We don't have the same beliefs, culture , laws
No Western country should give any aid to Uganda until the law is repealed.
Uganda should hold her ground
I used to laugh at the "Why are you gay?" meme, but really it is awful. Look it up, it's a video from 2012, from Uganda. Turns out, they weren't laughing like us.
this is the result of evangelical christians
It is same in Islam also.. it has nothing to do with Christianity...it's strictly their culture...
I'm in Florida and it's downright frightening how quickly our rights are being decimated. Uganda's is definitely worse, but in the US, it's getting pretty bad very quickly.
You don’t have a right to groom children
That’s all that’s happening in Florida
@@redpillras3456 of course you don’t have the right to groom children. Conservative fundamentalists brainwashing children into being bigoted is grooming.
I'm in Florida and Florida is fine. Gays are not discriminated on here. Child abuse yes. Gays no.
@@BuddhaWho777 In the last two weeks alone, multiple bills have been advancing rapidly through the Florida legislature severely restricting LGBTQ+ rights, with bills targeting education, including at the university level, and also restricting especially trans rights, up to and including bills that would outlaw insurance coverage of gender affirming care even for adults and severely restrict which medical professionals can provide that care, how they can provide it, and adds a bunch of costly new regulations that would make it much harder for them to provide it. This violates federal law but the legislators don't care. There's also an anti-trans child custody provision in one of the bills that would also violate federal law. There are anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in several education bills, including at the university level, and expanding the "Don't Say Gay" law from last year with even more restrictions for students and staff and severely restricting sex ed teaching statewide even in older grades. The sheer number, breadth, and sweeping content of the anti-LGBTQ+ bills right now, and the rapid speed with which they are currently being passed through the legislature is frightening, and I know a lot of people and families who are scrambling right now to leave the state (which is difficult when you also have to find work and housing in your destination city) before these bills get passed, signed into law, and take effect. And there's not enough time to do all of that because the most restrictive bill has a provision to go into effect immediately after being signed into law instead of waiting until July 1st, which is the normal standard. So with all due respect, gay and trans rights and people are very much under attack here. And our governor is making it his priority to strip LGBTQ+ people of as many rights as possible this session, building on the rights he already had stripped last year. The stuff I've mentioned here is barely half of everything being done this session. There are also anti-LGBTQ+ bills impacting free speech, freedom of the press, business regulations, healthcare, schools and universities, and more. Just the past two weeks have seen a rapid increase in the attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and it is legitimately frightening to be at risk from these laws, not to mention the escalating threats and violence from groups like the Proud Boys and neo-n*zi groups. Slightly related is the recent increase in anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish places of worship over the last couple of weeks as well, showing an increased presence and boldness of hate groups more broadly. LGBTQ+ people are living in fear right now in Florida, trying to do as much as possible before having their rights stripped away over the next few weeks. There is no situation in which "gays are not discriminated on here", as you put it. Not anymore. Florida has become a very hostile place for gay and trans people to live.
Uganda is the best. We salute them
me living in Jamaica...where homosexuality is illegal. Its so horrible and depressing. Being homophobic is considered a great aspect of a person's identity. I can't wait to get the hell out of here
It's horrifying to see the direction things are going. And seeing it on CZcams, on a computer, always reminds me of Alan Turing, and how he was prosecuted for homosexuality. It's like we as a society have learned nothing. Just imagine if he'd been charged before his work during WWII, and how that may have changed things. Imagine what he could've done if he weren't caught up in such stupid laws. Think about all the people who will live (or die) in fear from laws like this new one, who may have brought us advances like Turing. It's awful to consider just how much they're dragging us into a new dark age because of their hate.
Exactly my first thought. Even though I am not LGBTQ, I felt sick and really afraid at thought of the people there..
Well be grateful that you love in your society. The Ugandans are grateful Th a heir parliament expressed the will of the population.
Every nation has the agency to determine their societal norms.
Afrikan countries have no was agency to do so than Saudi,Qatar, Indonesia, China, Russia or Bangladesh.
Why don’t you people express the same feelings towards your partner in business like Saudi Arabia but like to bully another country. Africa is suffering from lack of basic things like clean water, food, clothes, roads, electricity just to mention view. Keep your LGBT whatever to your western countries. African are saying NO! Period.
When African are practicing other cultures that we believe in , we never enforce it on other countries. So leave Africa alone.
The British colonial influce is very hard to ignore of course, but I wonder how much of the trend is due to the agreessive evangelism of North American Christians?
You underestimate the people. They don't need any influence to become a shitbags. Stop blaming somebody in your vices.
When politicians are under fire for poor management of the issues - mainly the economy, health and law and order: They deflect the attention on an issue that will polarise, (basically any minority population) and you develop a common enemy that detracts from you and consequently polarises the conversation! It is bloody terrifying how quickly things can go into reverse on a political whim!
My country is moving to decriminalise homosexuality and has only recently decriminalised suicide (up to our recent past, suicide attempts were punishable by up to a year in prison, go figure.) Sadly, all these are partly influenced by our colonial laws whilst under UK rule.
Wtf is wrong with planet?
I am a republican (more traditional as opposed to what we have today) from the usa. I struggle with identifying with the lgbtq community. However, I believe in fair and equal rights of all. Each person should be able to live as they please enjoying peace and harmony. Does that mean I should be forced to call a biological male a she just because the person identifies as a woman, no, but I very likely would because I wish to be kind wherever possible. However, with all that said, I wish we could accept people, even if our chosen lifestyle is different. What we see here in Uganda is scary. I pray for the safety of all.
I am from Pakistan and this breaks my heart 😢😢
You should be home an advocate for sa!e sex marriage I Pakistan. Pakistan can be an examplle to the developing world for such policies.
Thank you thank you thank you. Im Australian and over 50% of the population don't trust our government (it's truly crazy down here 😅). Even though we have "robust equality laws" and the institutional inequalities that the government ignores due to fear of addressing colonisation. Our ingenious, immagrant, asylum seekers are scary unsafe. I just wish more people would educate them selves on how colonisation is effecting globe. P.s. I'm so done with being scared, but you bring me so much hope ❤❤
Uganda's traditional values and morals have nothing to with colonialism. Just the opposite.
I am from Connecticut, United States. I remember when I was in graduate school I was doing a study abroad for an independent study. We were the first group in my university to travel to Tanzania. Homosexuality is punishable, may result in extensive prison time. I'll never forget that intense fear I felt, and culture shock. So I prepared...I bought a fake wedding band to wear, and created a detailed back story that I had a wife and child at home...even created fake names for them! It was smart to protect myself, but NO ONE should have to go the extra mile and try so hard to hide who they are out of such intense fear! My heart breaks for the LGBT people in Uganda. Humanity is not as evolved as we may think.
I am so happy that the law came out I love Africa❤❤
The US , Canada , Australia and UK must provide Asylum.
It will be better, they must all go to those countries.

Just shows LGBTQ+ people can't become complacent, even here in the UK. Our liberty took decades of demonstration, debate and outrage! It can happen in Africa as well but unfortunately, think it will take a mightily long time. I'm hesitant to say change can only truly come from within, as it could lead to death, but it was only when people fought for their rights in the UK/Europe/USA, did we start seeing change.

@@raedjibrail5565 That's one thing western people don't get about the world. Africa and Asia are collective societies so what you do is a reflection of society as a whole. So the concept of "do as I wish" doesn't exist in collective societies. LGBT can only really thrive in countries with "individualism" ideologies.
Most importantly, allies of the LGBT+ community cannot become complacent. Those who are better positioned to make a difference.

It will be difficult to change their minds because Uganda is a highly conservative Christian country.
I feel sorry for the children if that is how they protect them.
Thank you for making videos about these things as well. It’s not fun, but it’s so important. My heart goes out to all who cannot freely be themselves ❤️
This breaks my heart to see my fellow africans persecuted thanks to religious zealots 😔💔
Religious fundamentalism remains a very serious scurge. One religion in particular. In the USA, it is Christianity. But this is only part of the explanation...attitudes seem to be regressing.
Christianity is causing the issues in Uganda too.
No
Respect begets respect.
You wanted respect, learn to give it back.
It’s distressing the views of such hateful people keeps spreading because of “morality.” How much longer do we have to bend to preferences of cultists and hypocrites that are the furthest from holy turning to medieval laws to condemn those for being different.
Your reflections on the colonial aspects of this are great.
The West is attempting its own cultural colonization with its insistence on disrespecting the agency that every nation has to determine their societal norms.
They have never directed similar energy towards co u tries such as Saudi, Qatar, Indonezia, Russia,China, Bangladesh.
Afrikan countries are going to call Biden's bluff to implement sanctions and halt telations; something activists in the west should also fight and March for.
Please don’t even relate Ugandan issues with uk because this is not about any other country’s effect, it’s about Uganda and it’s cultural norms

I heard about these laws because Amnesty International Petition popped on my feed on Instagram. I'm not only gutted about the law itself, the comment section made me lose more faith in humanity. The amount of people saying we shouldn't be doing anything because it's the culture of the place and therefore should be left alone made a part of my soul die. It's not only a problem in those countries, it's a worldwide attitude problem. And there are still a$$holes who dare say that LGBT+ people already have all the rights and pride parades are not important.
In Iraq there is no rules agents homosexuality last time i checked but unfortunately punishment like death penalty are forced by culture just like you said they get punished by others lows …. Hopefully i can get out of this hell hole in a few years i don’t have any hope that anything will change
The only changes that can happen is actually making new rules agents homosexuality….

It is no different from Afrikan countries holding their values and position even if it results in sanctions and loss of business from the west.
The West can even choose to end.relations outright;which its activists can demand.
Afrikan nations are prepared to call the bluff. The West must prepare for same.
It is not as if there is a scarcity of countries that share and respect similar values. They will be prepared to step into any void left.
Every country has The agency to determine their societal norms.
Afrikan countries have no less agency to do so than Saudi,Qatar,Indonesia,China, Russia, Bangladesh.
Keep messing with our children and let this be a warning
I mean they should just have a policy that pays for free travel away from Uganda so that homosexuals can live someplace else

“To protect our diverse culture” they shouldn’t use words they don’t understand, especially in their legislation. Maybe they should focus on basic education before they start venturing into politics.
The death penalty for homosexuality is totally Biblical. I don't agree with it but that is made very plain in the scriptures. Homosexuality is also genetic. There is no way to reverse the orientation you are born with.

Good job Uganda 🇺🇬 more Country’s need to do the same?
Humanity and compassion, those are just strange meaningless words to you aren't they.
God bless the nations of Africa
The home of the real black men...
I love committing aggravated homosexuality

Dark Ages much
Good good good for Uganda thumbs 👍👍👍
I could hardly believe this to be true when I heard about it. And It's just so so terrible. I feel deeply for all the people targeted by this outrageous law, and once more get reminded to be grateful to live in central Europe where there is more freedom (albeit the LGBT+ still facing biases too).
With developments like this, and so much more, it gets harder and harder to see the good and growth in the world. It's utterly depressing.
Let's gooooooooo with this law I love this law
OMG... WTH
Bravo Uganda... God bless for standing for truth. .. 👏👏👏👏.

Good move Uganda! We're tired of these abominations.
Can we also talk about the potential death penalty for abortion or even miscarriage in South Carolina as well. All these laws make me feel like we are regressing back to 18-1900’s….
Some champion the culture of death. Some champion the culture of life.
Afrika champions the latter when it comes to marriage and abortion stance.
Accept or reject, has no bearing on how those countries choose to exercise their agency on such issues.
Wow
