The Ugandan parliament passed a bill recommending tough new penalties for same-sex relations and identifying as gay, in a country where homosexuality is already illegal. LGBTI+ community in Uganda have come under sustained and increasing attack in recent months from politicians, religious leaders, and other public figures. This has manifested itself in the form of a perilous and false portrayal of LGBTI+ people as a threat to children and traditional norms . This deliberate framing has created an environment in which anti-LGBTI+ sentiment is normalized, both in the public and private institutions.
