Ugandan law would give gays life imprisonment
A Ugandan cleric who ministers to homosexuals has criticized the passage of a controversial law that imposes life imprisonment for homosexual acts.
Christopher Ssenyonjo, the former Anglican Bishop of West Buganda, said gay men have done nothing wrong and should not be punished.
He spoke in a telephone interview December 20, hours after legislators passed the law known as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009. President Yoweri Museveni must sign the bill within 30 days for it to become law.
