What is in the Uganda Anti-Gay Bill?


Many folks have heard about the anti-gay bill in Uganda, but may not have an idea about what's really in it.

So, I've found this mini-list that will easily explain what's in the bill.
* A 7 year jail sentence for consenting adults who have LGBT sex
* A life sentence for people in same-sex marriages

* Extradition and prosecution of LGBT Ugandans living abroad

* The death penalty for adults who have LGBT sex with minors or who communicate HIV via LGBT sex, regardless of condom usage


* Jail for anyone who doesn't report suspected LGBT activity within 24 hours


The bill also endangers HIV/AIDS programs, and may be exploited by those wanting to abolish these programs.
There it is.
