UGANDAN ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY BILL (No.2)
Early day motion 1106, tabled 24 February 2014 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 31 members.
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.
Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 3, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
