This is the best summary I could come up with:
KAMPALA, Aug 28 (Reuters) - A 20-year-old man has become the first Ugandan to be charged with “aggravated homosexuality”, an offence punishable by death under the country’s recently enacted anti-gay law, prosecutors and his lawyer said.
Defying pressure from Western governments and rights organisations, Uganda in May enacted one of the world’s harshest laws targeting the LGBT community.
Balya said four other people have been charged under the law since its enactment and that her client was the first to be prosecuted for aggravated homosexuality.
The law’s enactment three months ago drew widespread condemnation and threats of sanctions.
Earlier this month, the World Bank suspended new public financing to Uganda in response to the law.
The United States has also imposed visa restrictions on some Ugandan officials, and President Joe Biden ordered a review of U.S. aid to Uganda.
The original article contains 375 words, the summary contains 139 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Democracy at its finest
So only one of them was charged.
Is it like prison rules? “You’re only gay if you give head”?
Ironic considering the homosexuals in Uganda must feel like prisoners.
I was thinking the same, but really the horror is that either of them would be subject to this at all. It’s fucking ridiculous, and isn’t going to resolve their ‘crime wave’ issues there. The problem isn’t gay gangs… 😂
If global politics has taught me anything, it’s that the people who most focus on protecting decency are actually masking their own perversion.
My best guess is someone at the top has repressed desires…
President Joe Biden ordered a review of U.S. aid to Uganda.
Not quite strong enough there Biden, I’m sorry.
Why? It’s a start. It shows Uganda that the USA is reviewing how they help the country. If they have aid pulled from this, it can very much affect. Also they have sanctions in place for some already it seems.

American conservatives (The Fellowship Foundation, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family and other conservatives) pushed these laws to kill LGBT people in African nations. They spent tens of millions influencing local politicians to pass these deadly laws. American conservatives did this. The same conservatives who are pushing this agenda now in the U.S.
Conservatism is a disease that infects entire nations. Symptoms include oppression, sickness and death. This plague is on the rise globally and is in desperate need of a cure.
There is no amount of “good conservatism”. It is all a deadly plague and should be treated as such.
I am so outraged by the conservative terrorists in our midst. We cannot let hate prevail.
This is terrible but, out of curiosity how gay does someone have to be for it to be aggravated? Im thinking in like US law terms terms like…
Verbal Simple Aggravated
