Uganda's Parliament Has Passed Its “Kill the Gays” Law (msn.com)

Uganda’s parliament has advanced the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, which will stand as one of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ bills in the world
 The bill, which advocates have nicknamed “Kill the Gays,” maintains the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality,” which refers to any same-sex act in which the “victim” is a minor, the “offender” is living with HIV, the offender is a parent or guardian, or if the “victim” is disabled. Additionally, the bill punishes the “promotion” of homosexuality with a 20-year prison sentence, and would charge those who “knowingly allow their premises to be used for acts of homosexuality” with a seven-year jail sentence. Failure to report carries a jail sentence of five years or a fine of 10 million Uganda shillings, or roughly $2,682 USD. Although Museveri also requested that the revised bill include provisions related to “rehabilitation of persons who have in the past been engaged in homosexuality but would like to live normal lives again,” the updated bill contains no such language. 
Many African countries — and former British colonies around the world — have laws criminalizing homosexuality as a legacy of colonialism. According to a 2014 Washington Post analysis, 57% of countries with anti-gay laws have a British colonial origin, with almost 70% of countries with British colonial origins continuing to criminalize queerness. 
“It is a disguised campaign by American evangelicals through their local actors,” Opiyo alleged. “Their campaigns have now been organized under what appears to be local professional entities such as Christian lawyers’ groups, parliamentary forums and so forth.”In fact, according to a 2020 analysis by Open Democracy, American evangelical groups have spent millions of dollars in Africa since 2007. One group called the Fellowship Foundation wrote the original Kill the Gays legislation in 2009; between 2008 and 2018, the group sent more than $20 million to Uganda alone. Other groups spending money on activities in Africa include Alliance Defending Freedom, which is also behind much of the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation proliferating in state legislatures around the U.S.
