Uganda has passed a new law that adds the death penalty as punishment for certain cases of practicing homosexuality, including acts that involve rape, incest, and spreading HIV/AIDS.
On May 29, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni enacted the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act, which Western critics are calling one of the world’s toughest anti-gay laws. Homosexuality was already banned in the East African nation under its 1950 Penal Code Act.
