An MP in Uganda has proposed the death penalty for men who have gay sex with disabled people, under-18s or when the accused is HIV-positive. Ruling party MP David Bahati also wants to fine or imprison anyone found to be promoting homosexuality, reports the BBC. Homosexuality is already illegal in Uganda. Bahati's new Bill, which is likely to be passed as President Joshua Mmali is well known for his anti-gay views, will strengthen existing punishments against gay people.
