Uganda's anti-gay bill; French handball player

The week of Feb. 6, a highly controversial anti-gay bill was re-introduced in the Ugandan Parliament by conservative MP David Bahati, according to a press release. The current incarnation of the bill drops the death penalty for the crime of aggravated homosexuality, but retains provisions that require citizens to report LGBT people to the proper authorities or face prosecution themselves. AllOut.org Executive Director Andre Banks said, David Bahati and his Parliament are focused on attacking human and civil rights because it's easy and popular, rather than doing the hard work that awaits in Uganda—cleaning up corruption, delivering education and opportunities for more Ugandans to come out of poverty.
