Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill (No.2) (EDM1106)

Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill (No.2)

EDM number 1106 in 2013-14, proposed by Nigel Evans on 24/02/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Africa, Equality, International politics and government and Sex discrimination.

That this House condemns the signing of the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law; notes that the Act expands the range of same-sex activities that will be criminalised and introduces life imprisonment for acts of so-called aggravated homosexuality; further notes that the Act also makes it a crime not to report gay people; believes that such a law makes it impossible to be openly gay in Uganda; recognises that passing such a law is a retrograde step in the worldwide fight for gay equality; and calls on the Government to denounce President Yoweri Museveni and the Ugandan government in the strongest possible terms.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
