Uganda has just signed a bill that further criminalizes homosexuality, CNN reports. A man was even burned to death for being gay.

Passed on Friday, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill calls for life imprisonment for gay s*x involving HIV-positive individuals, acts with minors and the disabled, and for repeated “offenses” between consenting adults.

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 furor.

Under its latest iteration, anyone who conducts marriage ceremonies for same-s*x 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.

“This is a piece of legislation that is needed in this country to protect the traditional family here in Africa,” said David Bahati, the member of Uganda’s parliament who introduced the original bill.

Bahati is also part of The Family, a private and influential evangelical sect that sends money to African nations to promote anti-gay legislation.

Per a Fog City Journal article, ”The Family and other anti-gay groups have long viewed Uganda as a laboratory to experiment with Christian theocracy.”

According to Boise Weekly, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill had additional input from U.S. evangelicals. They included Scott Lively, a Massachusetts evangelical facing a U.S. lawsuit by gays in Uganda, accusing him of inciting homophobia in the African nation, according to the New York Times.

“There are those factions of the evangelical community in the U.S. that believe they’ve more or less lost the fight against the homosexual agenda,” said Malika Zouhali Worrall, a filmmaker who has documented Uganda’s LBGTQ community. ”Therefore, they’re trying to pre-empt it in other countries.”

“Protecting” children is another reason lawmakers are arguing for the bill; Bahati said it will ”defend our culture and defend the future of our children.”

An infamous news article in the country even reads, “Hang Them; They Are After Our Kids!”

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.”

Ross Murray, director of news at the U.S. at the Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, called the bill ”one of the worst human rights violations of our time.”

“It is now up to fair-minded Americans to speak up for the very lives of LGBTQ people in Uganda,” he told the Washington post

hmmm

I'm worried about those kids who are watching! They seem to enjoy what is happening.

Say NO to Gayism!!

This is stu.pid..... They are even children watching....

I do not support anything gay but this is certainly not the right way to go about it. It is wrong to just bounce o somebody and take his life because of his sexual orientation especially with children watching. Imagine what these children would grow up to be watching adults roasting a fellow human being like deer.

These gay people should respect themselves honestly.

Was the killing necessary?
Is this not the same Uganda where the AIDS disease is statistically one in every two people?

I tell you bros.....

Well sha Even d country name sounds so Archival and Ancient..... Try chatting with any of them on facebook and rate their level of Impresario-pariselo or Education exposure

Just let a man live his life the way he desires , as far as he is not hurting others or taking advantage of others,
In this world we don't have many choices,
We don't get to choose when we are born or when we die, we don't even get to choose whether we will be born into a rich or poor family,
So the least you could do for a fellow man, is just to let him choose how he wants to live this short life of his

I don't support gay, and I don't support dis killings

Edo babe I dhe see u

they should have imprisoned him na, instead of burning him alive.At least Naija own of 14 years for penalty nor too bad.

In as much as I condemn homosexuality but killing those involve in this act is very bad the person who kills the gay person might be a criminal a killer whose hands have been soaked with blood or even a gay himself or a rapist so what is the essence of killing the gay person when God said do not kill, 5years imprisonment or more is OK for the offence.

Kii em all

Where is the human right here

Homosexuality is a cancer that mist be removed or else humanity is in danger. I love sections of the bill that criminalizes landlords giving their property to gay tenants or failure to report gay activities. That aspect is what we need in Nigeria.

Most times when i see africans shout no to Homosexuality, i wonder why. Is it because we re more religious?
What do we even know about religion.
Is it because we re more advanced in the area of science to know what suits the human body more? What do we even know about science.
Is it because of our tradition?
Oh! The same traditions that couldnt develope africa? The same traditions that wont allow a grown man do what he wants in the privacy of his room but will allow little children to partake in the extrajudicial killing of a "Gay".
My conclusion is that africans are scared. Africans are scared of the white taking everything away from them. They are scared of the white taking over their what they regard as the "right" kind of sex.

I am not scared of the whites. Dont burn Gays alive. But please try not to be Gay.
