QuoteBloomberg is reporting that Uganda's political leadership has decided to drop the death penalty and lifetime imprisonment from their proposed Anti-Homosexuality Act:
But it looks like another idea taken directly from the three-day conference last March is finding its way into the bill — forced conversions:
In addition to formulating punishments for the gay people, the bill will also promote counseling to help "attract errant people to acceptable sexual orientation," said Buturo.
