Tutu urges Uganda to drop bid to jail gays and lesbians
Nobel Laureate archbishop emeritus Desmond Tutu has urged Uganda to scrap a controversial draft law that would send gays and lesbians to jail and, some say, put them at risk of the death penalty.
The antihomosexuality Bill is expected to become law after Parliamentar Speaker Rebecca Kadaga offered it to Ugandans as a "Christmas gift." The bill is believed to exclude the death penalty clause after international pressure forced its removal, but gay rights activists say much of it is still horrendous.
