If you’re a gay rights activist in Uganda, well, you’re now illegal according to an anti-gay bill just passed by the country’s parliament. The bill bans any sort of promotion or protection of gay rights. It also calls for life in prison for those convicted of “aggravated homosexuality” which is defined as gay sex with those infected by HIV, minors, and the disabled. But activists aren’t throwing in the towel, they’re girding for a fight.
