Uganda approves tough new anti-gay law – BBC News
A new anti-gay law, one of the harshest laws of its kind in the world, has been singed into law in Uganda.
President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law after parliament watered it down.
The new law calls for life in prison for those who are convicted under the act and in some circumstances, people could face the death penalty.
The law has received international condemnation, with the US President Joe Biden calling Uganda’s new law “shameful” and a “tragic violation of universal human rights”.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Ugandans are simply following the religion and values the White man left for them. Now the White man has updated himself due to "age of reason" but the Ugandan could not update.

The United States of America and other Western countries should stay out of Africa's affbirds. They have every ride to do what they want to do because there's their country in the United States and other Western countries. Do not have any say so overwhelmed. My homeland Africa don't choose to do what is citizens? The united states and other western countries stay out of africa's affairs you've been warned

To all the LGBT communities around the world with their families, and close friends: DON'T TRAVEL AND TOURIST IN UGANDA. You'll be arrested and/or killed. Uganda is worthless, so spend your tourist money & vacation in gay-friendly countries, or else you'll have wasted your vacation time & money

The supporters of this law, just like the legislators, rely too much on negative emotion but with no knowledge of gay people.Put emotion aside and ascertain the facts!
