UGANDA’S ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY ACT


  • Life imprisonment for gay sex, including oral sex.
  • Life imprisonment for "aggravated homosexuality", including sex with a minor or while HIV-positive
  • Life imprisonment for living in a same-sex marriage
  • Seven years for "attempting to commit homosexuality"
  • Between five and seven years in jail or a $40,700 (£24,500) fine or both for the promotion of homosexuality
  • Businesses or non-governmental organisations found guilty of the promotion of homosexuality would have their certificates of registration cancelled and directors could face seven years in jail

In a statement, Mr Museveni (Uganda Prime Minister) had said: "I... encourage the US government to help us by working with our scientists to study whether, indeed, there are people who are born homosexual. "When that is proved, we can review this legislation."
