Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Nigel Evans (Independent (affiliation)), on Monday, 24 February 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 31 members in total.
UGANDAN ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY BILL (No.2)
That this House condemns the signing of the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law; notes that the Act expands the range of same-sex activities that will be criminalised and introduces life imprisonment for acts of so-called aggravated homosexuality; further notes that the Act also makes it a crime not to report gay people; believes that such a law makes it impossible to be openly gay in Uganda; recognises that passing such a law is a retrograde step in the worldwide fight for gay equality; and calls on the Government to denounce President Yoweri Museveni and the Ugandan government in the strongest possible terms.
