Uganda’s constitutional court has rejected a bid to overturn a controversial anti-gay law that is considered one of the toughest in the world.

The law, which was adopted last year, imposes life imprisonment for consensual same-sex relationships and the death penalty for so-called “aggravated” cases.

  1. The same country that produced Idi Amin who fathered as many as 60 children, engaged in cannibalism, and had at least one of his wives dismembered.

    The International Commission of Jurists estimated the death toll at no fewer than 80,000 and more likely around 300,000. An estimate compiled by exile organizations with the help of Amnesty International puts the number killed at 500,000.

    Uganda is the last country that should talk about the "Family Values"!!! Can we once and for all dispel this syrupy myth of the wonderfully traditional family? The traditional family denied woman property and other rights. Women were often beaten as were their children and some still do. Men could do whatever they wanted. That was "Tradition"!

    Now President Yoweri Museveni wants to use religion and ignorance to create political capital by vilifying LGBTQ people and conflating them with child molesters. Most children that are molested are young girls and homosexual men do not do that.

    How dare people such as Timothy Lee Walberg, representative from Michigan endorse the persecution of LGBTQ people! He twists Christianity to promote his ignorance about human sexuality in places such as Uganda.

    Walberg needs to be thrown out of office or he must resign immediately!!!

  2. Who told that they returned, the law is still there, they will have any chance Uganda,if western wants them come and take them, indeed you can get news from Kenya but in Uganda, we don't want that nonsense to Uganda.

  3. When half the country is starving, corrupt government, crime, sexual assaults and the most important issue is attacking LGBTQ's 😂 what a 💩 government 😂😂😂

  4. they are worried that it will lead to the confusion that is happening here in the U.S. they fear it will lead to the trans movement and destroy family units.

  5. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa claims that homosexuality is disgusting? Nothing is more disgusting than him being naked and picturing him having sex with a prostitute. I believe he might be a closet homosexual or bisexual. He must go to prison for life!!!
