It also proposed a jail term for heterosexuals who failed to report homosexual
activities to the police. Archbishop
of York John Sentamu spoke out against the bill at the time.

calls “aggravated homosexuality.”
Homosexuality remains taboo in Uganda, where Pentecostal clerics have made the
fight against gay culture one of their core messages. Homosexuality is
already illegal under Uganda’s penal code.
It remains unclear if the bill will ever be voted on by parliamentarians.
Analysts say it would be passed immediately and that it hasn’t been
considered only because it lacks the political blessing of Ugandan President
Yoweri Museveni, who says it undermines his foreign policy agenda.
The bill has been condemned by leaders in Europe and the US, including by
President Barack Obama. European countries such as Sweden have threatened to
cut aid to Uganda if the bill is passed.
“The knock-on effect of passing this bill would reach far beyond gay and
lesbian people in Uganda, impeding the legitimate work of civil society,
public health professionals, and community leaders,” Michelle Kagari,
the deputy programme director for Africa at Amnesty International, said in a
statement.
