Museveni Requests Amendments to Controversial Ugandan Anti-LGBTQ Bill Despite Widespread Support

The Ugandan parliament passed legislation prescribing harsh penalties including life imprisonment and death for homosexual activity.
President Yoweri Museveni refused to sign the bill and asked lawmakers to revise it, though he supports its punishments.
The bill is supported by politicians, religious leaders and the public in Uganda but condemned internationally as a violation of human rights.
The bill threatens Uganda's LGBTQ community with violence and persecution if signed into law.
Gay rights activists plan to challenge the bill in court if Museveni signs it.
