Uganda Against Homosexuals

A Ugandan newspaper published a list of the "top" gay and lesbian individuals along with their picture next to their name in hope that they will get the death penalty. Homosexuality is not accepted in the country of Uganda because it is claimed that it goes against their religion, victorian morality, and colonial laws. The punishment for being a homosexual is either 14 years to life in jail or the death penalty. There were numerous outbursts internationally because it was impossible to understand how a country could kill its citizens over their sexual affiliation. A Ugandan magazine also showed pictures and names of gay individuals along with a yellow banner that said "Hang Them." People who are homosexual and are living in Uganda are fearing for their lives and many have had to relocate and find new jobs. Even the Ugandan minister, Nsaba Buturo, is against homosexuality and is hopeful that the anti-gay measures will get passed.
