Uganda passes even stricter antigay law that makes merely identifying as gay a serious crime

Penalties under the new legislation include a 10-year-jail term for anyone who engages in same-sex relationships or identifies as LGBTQ. Offenders may also face extreme punishments. Activists have recently amplified voices blasting the Bill as “a human rights violation.” "We recognize that the constitution contains non-derogable rights and in this process, the House has striven to recognize those rights...but the norms and aspirations of the people of Uganda will always remain supreme," Among emphasized. The fresh anti-gay law, which previously met a court nullification after it was lawed by President Museveni in 2014, returned to a nearly full 11th parliament on March 21 as 389 lawmakers were present in-person, with about 55 MPs following proceedings on Zoom technology.

You might ponder the significance of the difference between “plans” and “passes.”

The problem is that gay Rights progress anywhere inevitably unleashes a fierce and nasty backlash somewhere else

Where has there been gay rights progress?

by Anonymousreply 11April 2, 2023 1:20 PM

There's gay rights progress everywhere you look -- a couple of countries every year pass SSM and decriminalise homosexuality. Unfortunately, you also have some going backwards, though they're fewer in numbers. When you look at the broader picture, it's definitely a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of thing.

There is simultaneous progress and regression within the US. As nonstraight identity skyrockets among young Americans, a tsunami of antigay legislation and sentiment has soared on the right

What’s “nonstraight” identity?

by Anonymousreply 15April 2, 2023 1:43 PM

Anything that is not cis heterosexual

Oh, I see, the default. The normal. So, queer. Gotcha. That’s progress. Queer.

R15, nitpicking bullshit while gays are being persecuted.

by Anonymousreply 21April 2, 2023 2:06 PM

Maybe with this law, R21, Ugandans can claim to be “nonstraight”.

As long as you're mature enough to include the US as one of the countries since they financially supported it.

Keep eating that CFA and thinking you yourselves aren't contributing to what's going on with your money...
