Does Uganda have one of the most extreme anti-LGBTQ laws in the world?

Uganda's parliament recently passed some of the most sweeping anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in the world. Same-sex acts were already unlawful in Uganda, but lawmakers have voted to altogether ban both identifying as LGBTQ+ and /or the so-called promotion of gay identity. This means the sweeping ban not only outlaws consensual same-sex acts, it also criminalizes simply openly identifying as LGBTQ+. To learn more about the impact of these far reaching laws - we are joined by Frank Mugisha - Executive Director of the recently banned - Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), a prominent lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) rights organization.
