DescriptionPresident Yoweri Museveni signed an "Anti-Homosexuality" bill into law. This still punishes homosexuality with imprisonment up to life, but the bill allows "aggravated homosexuality" to be punished by death.

The definition of "aggravated homosexuality" includes three main categories.
1. Consensual sex between adults wherein the party is a second-time offender.
2. Rape, against an adult or a child.
3. Homosexual activities performed by those with HIV, or that involve a disabled or elderly person.

"Attempted homosexuality" is also punishable by law, meeting up to 10 years in prison, while "attempted aggravated homosexuality" can be met with up to 14 years.

DescriptionPresident Yoweri Museveni signed an "Anti-Homosexuality" bill into law. This still punishes homosexuality with imprisonment up to life, but the bill allows "aggravated homosexuality" to be punished by death.

The definition of "aggravated homosexuality" includes rape, sex with children, the elderly and people with disabilities. Homosexual activities performed by second time offenders or those with HIV are also considered aggravated, and punishable by death.

In effect, the only homosexual activity that is not punishable by death would take place between consenting adults (under the age of 75) who do not have HIV or previous convictions of homosexuality.

"Attempted Homosexuality" is also punished by law, meeting up to 10 years in prison, while "Attempted Aggravated Homosexuality" can be met with up to 14 years.

edited by daikman. giving more information about what is punishible by death. And changing the status to "death penalty as punishment" because homosexual activity is only not punishible by death in very restricted circumstances. Only first time offenders who do not have HIV would be imprisoned, the rest could be killed. I think this is extreme enough for us to say that the punishment is death, rather than the ambigous "other penalty" the satus is currently set as. By saying "other penalty" it implies that the penalty is neither death or imprisonment.
