Uganda’s parliament has passed a watered down anti-homosexuality bill that originally criminalised people for simply identifying as LGBTQ+.
In the original proposed legislation, members of the public were going to have to report individuals in same-sex relationships to the authorities.
Human rights defenders were outraged, with some activists in Uganda claiming members of LGBTQ+ community were being blackmailed.
Even though the latest version of the bill was watered down, it is still one of the toughest pieces of anti-gay legislation on the continent.
