Lesbian Couple Defy Uganda's "Jail The Gays For Life Bill" By Getting Married. by HezronLorraine(m): 9:15pm On Dec 22, 2013

A brave fearless lesbian couple in Uganda has held a wedding a day after parliament passed a bill that threatens gay people with life in prison if caught expressing their sexuality.

Kenya gay rights activist Denis Nzioka tweeted a photograph of a celebrant and two women in wedding garb and said that Ugandan activist Kasha Jacqueline had attended the marriage. 'This is what I call guts,'
he said.

On Friday Uganda's parliament passed the second
reading of an internationally condemned bill that will
make it illegal to 'promote' homosexuality and will
jail people who do not report homosexual activities to the police.

Yesterday Human Rights Watch released a statement
saying the bill curtails the universal rights of privacy,
family life, equality, freedom of association and
expression.

The group also expressed concern that the bill would
prevent effectively combatting HIV because LGBT
people will be less reachable.

Earlier this month a Ugandan former national football
manager was arrested for 'sodomizing' one of his
team's players.

The arrest was ‘clearly designed to provoke a moral
outrage about what is seen as a bastion of the male
sportsmanship – the country’s top football team’ said Nzokia.
