Uganda passes anti-gay law that promises life imprisonment for "aggravated homosexuality." We must speak out against this

From the Gay Star News:

Uganda’s parliament has passed the dreaded anti-gay bill today (20 December), leading LGBTI people to fear a 'hunt'. 

Speaker Rebecca Kadaga put forward a motion for second reading today and the bill passed. 

Originally known as the 'Kill The Gays' bill, the death penalty has been dropped but people can still get life in prison for homosexuality. 

The bill will make it illegal to 'promote' homosexuality and will also jail anyone who does not report homosexual activities to the police. 

Ugandan LGBTI people are said to be 'panicked' and 'afraid for their lives'. It has already been predicted it will lead to more deaths in the LGBTI community. 

Members of Parliament (MPs) heard every clause in the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009. But debate which was expected to run all day was over very quickly
