museveni approves the anti gay law
A law against homosexuality has received the approval of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, the country’s parliament speaker announced on Monday.
One of the strictest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world, Museveni’s approval of the law means he disregarded the criticism of Western governments, corporations, and human rights activists.
“I now urge those legally obligated to carry out the Anti-Homosexuality Act’s directive to do so. Anita Among, the speaker of parliament, requested in a tweet. “The people of Uganda have spoken, and it is your duty to now enforce the law fairly, steadfastly, and firmly.
Same-sex relationships are prohibited in more than 30 African nations, including Uganda, but the new law goes much further in its discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.
The international community has voiced strong opposition to President Museveni’s decision to approve the anti-gay law. It serves as a stark reminder of how pervasive homophobia is in some cultures and nations and urges more people and organizations to take a stand against it. To ensure that no one has to live in fear of discrimination or judgment, we must do everything in our power to ensure that everyone is respected regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristics.
