Ugandan Gay Man Burned Alive Days After Anti-gay Bill Adopted - CNN Reports by akeemstunna(m): 11:35am On Dec 26, 2013
Uganda has last week signed a bill that further bans
homosexuality. According to CNN, a man was even
burned to death for being gay shortly. The bill's original
2009 version, named "Kill The Gays," went as far as
calling for the death penalty for certain homosexual
acts; that provision was shelved following international
furore. Under its latest iteration, anyone who conducts
marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples faces
seven years behind bars.
Failure to report homosexual activity to police is also
criminalized.

Doctors who treat gays, landlords who rent them
property and those suspected of being LBGTQ are
subject to five-year prison terms under the bill. Anyone
who offers support to homosexuals will also be
committing a criminal offense, which can reportedly
extend to counseling.

Though homosexuality has already been illegal in the
Southeast African nation, some argued this bill needed
to be passed to safeguard against Western values.

Warning! Graphic Violence: viewer discretion is
advised. Many LBGTQs and supporters in the nation
and worldwide decried the bill's passage. "The witch
hunt had already started, and now it has been
legitimized by the parliament of Uganda, which is very
scary," said Clare Byarugaba, who coordinates the
Ugandan Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and
Constitutional Law, a gay rights group. "We don't know
how brutal the police will be now that the bill has
passed. With this legitimization, it's going to get worse."
President Yoweri Museveni has to sign the bill within
30 days to make it official.
Didn't they go too far to kill this man because he was
gay? Couldn't they have jailed him instead?

What is your thought about this act?
