From yesterday (August 28, 2023), but I only heard about it now:
Reuters: First Ugandan Charged with ‘Aggravated Homosexuality’ Punishable by Death
According to a charge sheet seen by Reuters, the defendant was charged on Aug. 18 with aggravated homosexuality after he "performed unlawful sexual intercourse" with a 41-year-old man. It did not specify why the act was considered aggravated.
"Since it is a capital offence triable by the High Court, the charge was read out and explained to him in the Magistrate’s Court on (the) 18th and he was remanded," Jacqueline Okui, spokesperson for the office of the director of public prosecutions, told Reuters.
The ultimate blame for Uganda having become this way lies in fundamentalist Christians from the United States spreading their queerphobia to the region:
In the early 2000s, American evangelical Scott Lively was part of a series of anti-gay events that culminated in Uganda’s 2009 “Kill the gays” bill, which called for the death penalty for what it described as “aggravated homosexuality.” Lively had written books such as The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party and Seven Steps to Recruit-Proof Your Child against what he described as “pro-homosexual indoctrination.”
…
Lively also spoke to the Ugandan Parliament, where he framed homosexuality as a Western import intending to spread “the disease” to children.
Thanks to American fundamentalist Christians, Uganda has become a region deathly hostile to anyone who does not fit the heteronormative standards to which fundamentalist Christians adhere. As we have seen here even in the United States, anyone who identifies as or even supports the LGBTQIA+ population is a target marked for persecution and ultimately execution by radicalized fundamentalist terrorists. Some American fundamentalists who have the ear of Republican politicians still publicly support death for the LGBTQIA+ population.
