My last post about this subject is dated August 17, 2012. So, it appears that on this day in February 2014 that Uganda has decided that being a sexually active gay/lesbian person should earn that person life imprisonment, and that that should be the law of the land there. I cannot imagine being G,L,B or T Ugandan. I am glad that the Obama administration has spoken out against this move, and I will be interested to see if Canada follows through on limiting its ties to Uganda, now that this bill appears to have been signed. I hope that GLBT friendly governments will offer immediate asylum to those in Uganda who will need it.
UPDATE: 2.21.14
So, President Museveni has delayed signing that odious bill. I hope he uses his time wisely, and decides to veto this madness.
