This article posted by the BBC, only hours ago, analyses the work of gay rights activists in Uganda. The current law in Uganda for 'homosexual acts' is up to a 14 year jail sentence. The government proposal is to increase it to life, through Capital punishment.
The dominant religious faith in Uganda is Roman Catholicism. Protestantism and Islam comprise the remaining population.
The questions that you should be asking whilst reading these articles are: Does tolerating homosexuality in a Roman Catholic community affect the individual's salvation? Should a government be allowed to pass laws based solely on religious justification? Is there another more amicable solution for co-existence?
