Gays face life imprisonment in Uganda

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed an new law on Monday. An anti-gay bill that toughens on already strict legislation against homosexuals, ignoring warnings from the United States that relations could be complicated by the new rules. Museveni's signature will please Others who are against  homosexuality, but risks alienating Western aid donors. Museveni signed the bill during a press conference at State House in Entebbe, close to the capital Kampala. This new law will punish people convicted of having gay sex with jail terms up to life, according to drafts of the legislation. The final bill has not been published. It will also make it a crime to promote gay activity and to fail to report someone for breaking the new law (according to draft.). Donors have previously threatened to cut aid if the bill goes into law with  US President Barack Obama calling it "step backward for all Ugandans".

Although it remains to be seen if any action will indeed be taken against Uganda.
