Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni signed a contentious anti-gay bill into law on Monday, the Associated Press reported. The amended version of the bill does not criminalize LGBTQ people, but "engaging in acts of homosexuality" would be punishable by life in prison or the death penalty. The bill was passed by the Parliament of Uganda in March and later sent to the president for approval.
