    Ugandan anti-gay bill includes life imprisonment for certain acts
    By Rodney Muhumuza, Published: December 20

    KAMPALA, Uganda — Ugandan lawmakers Friday passed an anti-gay bill that calls for life imprisonment for certain homosexual acts, drawing criticism from rights campaigners who called it the worst such legislation in the world.

    When the bill was first introduced in 2009, it was widely condemned for including the death penalty, but that was removed from the revised version passed by parliament.


    Instead it sets life imprisonment as the penalty for a homosexual act in which one of the partners is infected with HIV, for sex with minors and the disabled, and for repeated sexual offenses among consenting adults, according to the office of a spokeswoman for Uganda’s parliament.


    Lawmakers passed the bill unanimously, with no one voicing an objection.

    President Yoweri Museveni must sign the bill within 30 days for it to become law.

    Homosexuality already was illegal in Uganda under a colonial-era law that criminalized sexual acts “against the order of nature,” but the Ugandan lawmaker who wrote the new legislation argued that tougher legislation was needed because homosexuals from the West threatened to destroy Ugandan families and were allegedly “recruiting” Ugandan children into gay lifestyles.

    There is definitely a difference. Anti-speech laws are more the dream of homosexual lobbyists at this point.

    A Missouri man has been arrested and charged with "reckless exposure to HIV" after he admitted to having unprotected sex with up to 300 people without disclosing his HIV status, triggering alarm among health officials.
