revised version of the bill that rolls back some of its more severe provisions. For instance, under the original version of the legislation, merely identifying as LGBTQ could land someone in prison, while under the new law, only those who engage in same-sex conduct can be prosecuted.The revised version of the bill also rolls back provisions that would have required family, friends, and neighbors to report any suspected same-sex activity, even between consenting adults, to authorities or risk fines and imprisonment.

Under the revisions, a person may be fined 10 million Ugandan shillings or placed in prison for five years, only if they do not report homosexual activity involving a minor.

However, much of the bill’s harshest penalties remain intact. The bill imposes life imprisonment for engaging in same-sex relations, with the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality,” defined as engaging in same-sex relations while living with HIV, or various circumstances in which a person seduces or coerces someone else into engaging in same-sex acts.The bill also imposes sentences from 7 to 14 years in prison for attempting to engage in same-sex relations, and imposes a sentence of up to 20 years in prison for anyone who “promotes” homosexuality, including advocating on behalf of LGBTQ rights, disseminating information that presents homosexuality in a facially-neutral or positive light, or portrays homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.
