Ugandan President To Sign Anti-Homosexuality Bill-Under the new law, gay people will be jailed for life

In January, Museveni criticized the parliament speaker for passing without a quorum the bill that would make it a crime to be gay, to talk about homosexuality without condemning it and to not report gay activity. A spokesman told the Associated Foreign Press in January that Museveni believes that gay people are sick but should not be killed or jailed for life.
But Museveni said that he would sign the bill if he was offered scientific proof that homosexuality is not genetic, according to BuzzFeed. A series of tweets from Ofwono Opondo, a spokesperson for the government of Uganda, confirmed Friday that Museveni will sign the bill after “medical experts presented a report that homosexuality is not genetic but a social behavior” recently.
