Uganda's parliament on Tuesday passed a law that criminalises identifying as LGBTQ, handing authorities broad powers to target Ugandans who already face legal discrimination and mob violence.

More than 30 African countries, including Uganda, already ban same-sex relations. The new law appears to be the first to outlaw merely identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer , according to rights group Human Rights Watch.a broader array of LGBTQ activities, which they say threaten traditional values in the conservative and religious East African nation.

Violations under the law draw steep penalties including death for so called aggravated homosexuality and life in prison for gay sex. Aggravated homosexuality involves gay sex with people under 18 years old or when the perpetrator is HIV positive, among other categories, according to the law.

Who are we to enforce our white ideology

84% Christian and 14% Muslim

Bhhbaahaha

Now the pendulum swings hard the other way. So it begins...

The entire LGBTABCXYZ crowd must now embrace Ugandan self-determination and culture or else they're racist fascists who want democracy to fail. not my rules.

Diverting from the main economical, social and political issues. 2023 Uganda transportation system is a metal bar on a motorcycle. The dictator and his son are in full control of county's finances and have a lavish life style with luxury homes abroad

What have TQ have to do with homosexuals, Reuters? If there were a ban on black softball players would you say 'ban on softball players'? I think not.

dis is da wey

Well done African brothers

W

all you liberal activists should go there and have a mostly peaceful protest !

I think the lgbtq has been hijacked by pedophiles and regular gay people wouldn't identify with them anyways

BASED Uganda

Yea cause the GAYS are the problem in Uganda! 🤪

Majority of Christians favoured this bill, while Muslims were in minority. Uganda's Christ!an community is more conservative.

No more 'Whr r u gay?'.

Should be the law anywhere .

Maybe the Democrats can send them over some drag queens to reverse this. We all know how much Democrats love Drag Queenscand groomers all of a sudden

The is the west getting back to Uganda since the chocolate dispute, now the west can sell chocolate they can produce they attack cultural believes like Christianity did in the past

Why don’t y’all leave Uganda decide for Uganda just like Islamic countries with their cultural believes in the name of Amun

America hates real democracy, news at 11

People who complain about this law are racist.

Good for them! The west is Destroying itself with all the Pervert Nonsense. Effen men in women's sports. Kids being chemically castrated and Genital Mutilation! Uganda will be just fine can't say the same for the US.

God bless Musa Ecweru for doing the right thing. Uganda is a Christian country. Even the Muslims have clearer understanding about homosexuality and lesbianism than our Supreme Court.

congrats

Disgusting and heartbreaking

This is democracy.

Uganda with the big W

MohaJichoPevu HEBabuOwino mens we need these law in Kenya also we should follow Uganda take it to parliament and do something 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Uganda is 100% right!!!!

Why do Liberals think other countries need to think like us?

My, my, my, how quickly lefties commenting on this tweet forget that, according to their own rules, criticizing black people, not to mention a whole country of them, is considered racist and bigoted. 😉

that's up to them. if that's what the people want too, even better.

God Bless GovUganda and KagutaMuseveni !

Right or wrong? .....Their country their rules 🤷🏻‍♂️

What? This is democracy. We all love democracy. This is just what they prefer. Why u guys want to decide what it's good for them?

OMG

BIG W SAME AS SAUDI 🗿LGBTQ IS TRASH STAY MASCULINE STAY HALAL UGANDA🤜🤛SAUDI🗿

Down to fundamentalist western missionaries.

👍

This is disgusting news out of Uganda.

Good for them. A sovereign nation deciding to reject the white mans agenda.

This what hate and ignorance looks like.

They look to the west and see that they don't want to go the same wae. Good on you Uganda.

This is the wae.

Based Museveni

Ridiculous these out of date old dinosaurs need to be returned to the earth ,

The west can't stop taking L's

Fascists

Geopolitics_Emp Between a lack of personal freedom and prosecution and the geopolitically oriented promotion of gender ideologies by NGOs and the Anglo-Saxon world, should be the pre postmodern 'freedom and equality to the law'.

Basically a total rejection of wokeness

👍👍👍

Based government

Geopolitics_Emp People who complain about this are racists.

Wow .... extreme... what would Jesus do?

Have they criminalised identifying as trans?

I don't wanna be the one to say this but it appears they dont have alot of diversity in that country. 🤔

Missionaries definitely accomplished their mission on the continent. Terrible!

If only they stopped at wanting to get married and not gone onto wanting to mutilate children.

Chalk Uganda up to one place I will never visit!

Ecweru is probably a closeted gay man!

“This is what democracy looks like.”

Unsustainable and unrealistic move

Based

Uganda so based - because there is no such thing as trnsg3nder - only mental illness

Uganda is going backwards

Democracy is beautiful

Biggest W

What is happening in the world! Ugly to celebrate demonizing others.😠 For people so concerned about 'Kids', hate & bigotry does display MORALS! Toxic hate created by ADULTS on purpose, against people who cannot help being who they are born to be. Sad! StopTheHateNow LGBTQ

Here we go fucking around with other sovereign nations laws. Why can't POTUS stay out of others affairs, including the USA

Super based Salute to Uganda 🇺🇬

yikes wtf

ananavarro billyeichner Disgusting

They all have gay porn on their PC 1000%

Why they are doing this....thats so sad🥹

Based.

Hope un sanctions them. Grr

Then it’s time for western companies and NGOs to pull everything from the country. Bigotry and discrimination should have consequences.

Dis is da wae

Uh oh - someone’s about to get “Democracy” the hard way.

Awesome!!!

How unscientific, unnatural and inharmonious.

Badass!

Showing just how Godless blacks can be. So, just shut up with your racist shit going after whites all the time.

Uganda is ruled by troglodytes 👽

Thank u uganda 🇺🇬

I am happy for their people here in America we are now a S*IT country.

🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿❌ LGBT

Welcome to the Stone Age…

What a sad day for Ugandans….

GovUganda I’ll be sure to demand that all foreign aid that gets sent to you stops. I wouldn’t want my gay money to taint you. Good luck with the Chinese. They aren’t so kind.

Better reevaluate all of you arts you love because some of them are not like you.

Reaction to the main media agenda....or do you really beliave theres would be no reactions.

Am proud of my country uganda

Ron DeSantis is salivating at the prospect of doing this in our country

This could possible be the way to go, in the west, the LGTBQ were given some lee way and now they think they can tell everyone what to do, and how it is. It should be equal rights, not special rights.

Sad that is this 2023, there are still people that are living in the stone ages.

Yeah Baby. Home of monkeypox

Cue 3 million Ugandan 'refugees' coming our way all claiming to be persecuted because they are 'gay'

…really leaning into that colonized homophobic mindset 🙄😔

Then it’s time for western companies and NGOs to pull everything from the country. Bigotry and discrimination should have consequences.

Sanctions now!

Radical but I understand that they want to protect the family

Finally, African countries are standing up and defending their culture and morality. China and Russia is ready to protect them from NATO and CIA regime change wars going forward.

well done uganda keep that disgusting european filth out of africa. Africans are human beings with culture morality ethics not wild animals like europeans.

Where are all these hordes of 'equity warriors' who are ready to die for their ideas? Or does it only work in safe Western democracies?

Based

They are just protecting the humans of getting the number 1 of deadly “STD” - the AIDS 💀

So homosexual not LGBTQ. At least change it to LGB for accuracy.

It felt like I was in church.

poor countries only remain poor because instead of thinking about development, the government is thinking about customs. governments were not made for this. will remain poor.

A Republicans wet dream

Well said sir

Every one reserved Right to Live by making an environment freely and independently. LGBTQ. of Uganda Reserved Right to Live in Uganda, Mr. Edi Amyn exiled Asian based on Racism. Respect diversity in Global Village, Force laws resulting rebellions

They already lost that battle. They cannot control human nature like this. Gays will always exist, no matter what they do to eradicate it. They are dominated by ignorance and fear, and this is a crime against humanity. I'm sorry for the innocent people that will suffer 😔

Send them your ISIS

Homosexuals has no place in the world

“Diversity is our strength” ……….. hang on ……….. errrrrr ………..

Africa is not market for Western deviation. Please keep your home grown products

OMG

💙🖤🇺🇬

Toryib

Good stuff

Good morals and values which is what America needs .

Excuse me, it's 2023

my thinking, there are so many other problems this land has to face. just think about the conflicts at the border areas to the kongo, and the violence that is happening there.

Lol but but Russia!

Western culture does not apply to African regions Every country has its own cultural traditions What you think is right may be evil in someone else's culture Let's face it, the vast majority of countries don't recognize western values👍👍

🫡 to Uganda 🇺🇬 ThereIsOnlyTwoGender

He’s probably gay lol

I apprshet this law maker Ugandian. LGBTQ(homosexuals) is Evil practice.

Homophobic govt, dumb law makers. They have no right to interfere in anyone personal choice/Life.

primitive, these people voting for the disgrace of their own fellows.. wow they should be put in a cage, no way to recover these psycho politicians

JeremyCordite GovUganda I don’t know if we give your country aid but if we do, we should clearly cease immediately RishiSunak FCDOGovUK UgandaMediaCent

So where is the UN,UHRC,Amnesty international,Human Right watch and etc?

There is almost certainly several gay lawmakers in that crowd just having to hide in plain site. Ignorance is something all cultures share.

Tennessee and Florida, soon to follow in the footsteps of....Rwanda

Inhuman....

Winning.

This world is growing colder with each passing day. Sad day for these people. Be strong, Be safe.

I will not be visiting Uganda. What a sick bunch of reactionaries.

Silakan yang mau jadi teman Uganda

🎊🎈🍾

Just nuke them from space...

This will grant Uganda a permanent place in the third world countries list.

so much for decolonizing 🙄 …pre-colonial africa had no issues with more than two genders and more then one sexuality. Whites introduced homophobia.

This world is going backwards. I just don't understand how we as a people can let others live their life freely as long as they aren't harming others.

The political elites of this poor country are deceiving and diverting their own people from what is really important for the country. Homosexuality should not be a focus for rulers irrespective of what to think about it.

No one is coming.

Ugandan gays will come to RSA

Good 👍🏼

Where r their men in dresses supposed 2 go

The idea of “human rights” as a popular sentiment is fairly recent and has not taken hold in many parts of the world.

I m ok with that , we have ours decent ways of living, your sexuality should be private not market or display at public domain, promoting homosexuality is crazy and misleading young generation

Don’t give the Republicans any more ideas!!! KansasGOP GOP

I’m moving to Uganda ✈️ 🧳

🎊🎈🍾

Shame on Uganda criminalize human nature 🙄🤦🤦‍♀️ Backward country

How about you just keep your business to yourself?

This is very sad news for world’s human rights.

Good for them. No place for confusion & no Sodom and Gomorrah.

100% of you here in the comment section I believe you came from the pussy ....therefore we don't want any western stupid and unprecedented morals. We say No to homosexuality

Lmao it’s wild how Europe still got a chokehold on Africa look at that nigga wig

Proud of my country ❤️🙏🏾🥰

Any country and government has the right to choose what is best for them. Congratulations to Uganda!!

So are they going to ban colors and textbooks next?

The security leaders who contributed to the bombing of the USS COLE in the port of Aden are part of the Muslim Brotherhood, but from in secret . The goal is to deliver a message that your presence in Yemeni territorial waters or its borders is not desirable. So ......

Is the USA going to get into a conflict w/ Uganda now considering LGBTQ+ is a 'core part of our foreign policy' according to Adm. Kirby?

Has it banned the + symbol too 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

More asylum seekers to Gay Britain?

ugandas are the most sane people then 🤭

Society is doomed

Florida is next.

Uganda, behind the times.

Sanctions now!

Their country, their laws

Diversity is our strength ……. Ohhhhh …….. hang on ……… 😂

so fearful of being colonized by current Western values, they cling to values from past colonization 😔

Why are you gay?

I like how they still wear the imperialist syphillis wigs.

Now you know why Putin is investing in Africa

Thanks Uganda. Really appreciated

In a country where genocide is a regular occurrence who can be surprised.

Thank you uganda for fighting for mother africa and yah.

God bless Uganda 🇺🇬

😊😊😊

Mallards, Black swans, Rams, albatrosses will they be hunted due to same sex behaviors?

Sad

There is no gay, trans, or LGBT gene, even Harvard university genetics admits that

Want to fix the United States in one swift action?

Haha LOL 🤣 like they will just not exist now.

wonder if liberals will call these black people racists or sexists?

As a Ugandan, I’m in full support of the bill and the president should have signed it as early as yesterday into a law. We have cultures and traditions that we believe in and must be respected. .. To hell with LGBTQ😡. we shall protect our kids from these evil acts at all costs

Keep it up !✊

Next African genocide, coming right up.

Thats great We're Africa Not every thing the west throws at us we copy and accept

Is Kamala going to talk about this on her trip to Africa?

Good news.

Sovereign country they can pass any law they want 🚀🚀
