Uganda has some strict policies when it comes to dealing with gays. Uganda already has some strict policies in which state that gay intimacy is dealt with by life in prison. But apparently that was not harsh enough. They are now coming out with a bill that penalizes anyone who attempts to commit the offense with up to seven years in jail. Also each person charged with the crime will have to get a medical examination to check the current HIV status. If they contain the virus then they may be executed. This bill is to punish those who are promoting homosexuality with a solid amount of jail time. The thing they strongly encouraged is snitching on friends and family considering :failure to disclose the offense within 24 hours of knowledge takes somebody liable to a fine or imprisonment of up to three years."
I believe that this is a little overboard when trying to come up with something to stop gays from expanding in your town. I feel that thuse consequences are way too extreme for something that is generally not considered to be a crime in many other places around the world. However, I can strongly agree with seeing this bill put fear in the eyes of the homosexuals knowing the severe consequences of what would happen if caught.
