Not only can you be arrested for doing anal – you’re not even allowed to admit you’re into it!
Uganda’s parliament passed a law on Tuesday making it a crime to identify as LGBTQ, handing authorities broad powers to target gay Ugandans who already face legal discrimination and mob violence.
More than 30 African countries, including Uganda, already ban same-sex relations. The new law appears to be the first to outlaw merely identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ), according to rights group Human Rights Watch.
Supporters of the new law say it is needed to punish a broader array of LGBTQ activities, which they say threaten traditional values in the conservative and religious East African nation.
In addition to same-sex intercourse, the law bans promoting and abetting homosexuality as well as conspiracy to engage in homosexuality.
Violations under the law draw severe penalties, including death for so-called aggravated homosexuality and life in prison for gay sex. Aggravated homosexuality involves gay sex with people under the age of 18 or when the perpetrator is HIV positive, among other categories, according to the law.
“Our creator God is happy (about) what is happening … I support the bill to protect the future of our children,” lawmaker David Bahati said during debate on the bill.
“This is about the sovereignty of our nation, nobody should blackmail us, nobody should intimidate us.”
The legislation will be sent to President Yoweri Museveni to be signed into law.
…
Museveni has not commented on the current proposal but he has long opposed LGBTQ rights and signed an anti-LGBTQ law in 2013 that Western countries condemned before a domestic court struck it down on procedural grounds.
The fact is, the blacks are now much more civilized than whites.
Legalizing gay anal is the ultimate primitive action. This takes us to a level below animals.
The blacks keep it real.

Received this from a parent in @pcsd who said students were given this survey. Why would a school be asking these questions to kids? pic.twitter.com/1Rdxxg0p3V

This book is about a young kid who decides to be transgender and uses the opposite bathroom at school. Why would schools give this to kids to read? pic.twitter.com/9RV3L9NB7X
