Uganda’s Anti-Gay Bill Could Be Making A Comeback This Month | Uganda’s infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill — which would impose the death penalty or life imprisonment for some homosexual acts — was been cast aside when Uganda’s Parliament ended last May, but it may soon be coming back to life. As Box Turtle Bulletin’s Jim Burroway notes, “there are persistent reports that the bill may be resurrected sometime in mid- to late-August” and Ugandan MP Otto Odonga, “who has said that he would apply to be a hangman even if it were his own son who was gay and at the gallows, confirmed to Warren Throckmorton that the bill will be brought back ‘perhaps by the end of August,’ and that it would pick up ‘from where the last parliament ended.’”
