This feels like it's teetering on Uganda starting a gay genocide.
The Ugandan government now wants to make it illegal to NOT report anyone you suspect is gay to the police! Gay sex is illegal but now "touching anyone with gay intent" is being criminalized and a 7 year jail sentence for "promotion of homosexuality."
There's also a death penalty clause,

To find out that American Evangelical movements were involved in the push for such horrific legislation just astounds me and infuriates me.

It is shit like this that makes me wonder why I was born a human. I am so sad.
