BREAKING: Ugandan President to Sign 'Jail the Gays' Bill
Source: The Advocate
Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has indicated that he is planning to sign into law the country's long-languishing Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which would impose lifetime jail sentences for certain instances of homosexuality and would sentence anyone who performs a same-sex marriage to seven years' imprisonment.
Government spokesman Ofwondo Opondo announced the decision on Twitter Friday, and a spokeswoman for the ruling National Resistance Movement confirmed the decision to BuzzFeed.
Opondo's tweets Friday afternoon noted, "The NRM caucus has welcomed the development as a measure to protect Ugandans from social deviants," and explained that "Ugandan traditionalists, religious leaders & politicians have been urging Museveni to sign the Bill."
Opondo also said the president was apparently swayed by a report presented at an ongoing parliamentary retreat where a dozen lawmakers "with medical backgrounds" claimed to have scientific proof that homosexuality was "socially acquired" and curable.

"There should be no doubt that Museveni's latest words on the subject have been influenced by the reaction to similar legislation in Nigeria, Russia and elsewhere."
