Uganda’s parliament is expected to vote on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 on Tuesday amid mixed reactions from various stakeholders, DailyMonitor reported.
The Bill will be presented for the second and third reading by the Bugiri Municipality legislator, Mr Asuman Basalirwa, local media reported.
It is not yet confirmed whether the voting will be a show of hands as it was earlier proposed by the Speaker of Parliament, Ms Anita Among, who has on several occasions vowed that the Bill must pass at whatever cost.
The Bill, among others, seeks to prohibit same-sex sexual relations, strengthen Uganda’s capacity to deal with domestic and foreign threats to the heterosexual family, safeguard traditional and cultural values and protect youth/children against gay and lesbian practice through imposing penalties on the perpetrators.
