Uganda's parliament on Tuesday passed legislation criminalizing those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ). Those convicted under the law face imprisonment or death, and friends, family, and community members are liable to report such individuals to authorities. The bill now sits with President Yoweri Museveni, who can either strike it down or sign it into law.
