The MP behind anti-gay legislation that has been condemned worldwide said yesterday the death penalty is likely to be dropped from the bill.

David Bahati said if the committee studying the bill recommends the death penalty be removed, "I would concede."

... Anyone who "aids, abets, counsels or procures another to engage of acts of homosexuality" would face seven years in prison. Landlords who rent rooms or homes to homosexuals also could get seven years.

... Bahati, 36, is serving his first term. He said that the bill has helped raise public awareness about what he calls "the dangers to our children". Many Ugandan leaders who support the bill say that gay Ugandans recruit school children to become homosexual.

1. Whatever...I bet people who kill homosexuals...

in Uganda don't get prosecuted or if so the punishment is nothing. They already force homosexuals to live in the most disgusting conditions anyway. Much of this is due to folks like Rick Warren & The Family influence there!
