A Ugandan government bill is advocating the death penalty for gay people

Under the anti-homosexuality bill, now going through parliament, anyone repeatedly caught having sex with someone of the same sex faces the death penalty, while people who touch each other in a gay way could be jailed. A clause in the bill also punishes anyone who fails to report an offense within 24 hours of witnessing or finding out about it.
