LGBT rights in Uganda
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Uganda have no specific legal protections. Activists estimated in 2007 that the Ugandan gay community consisted of 500,000 people.〔("Ugandans hold anti-gay sex rally", ''BBC News'', 21 August 2007, retrieved 12 December 2012 )〕
Both male and female homosexual activity is illegal. Under the Penal Code, "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" between two males carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment.
According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 96 percent〔The number of adults (all were at least 18 years old) surveyed in Uganda was 1,122, yielding a margin of error of 3 percent with a 95 percent confidence level.〕 of Ugandan residents believe that homosexuality is a way of life that society should not accept, which was the fifth-highest rate of non-acceptance in the 45 countries surveyed.〔("Pew Global Attitudes Project", (pages 35, 85, and 117) )〕 A poll conducted in 2010, however, revealed that 11 percent of Ugandans viewed homosexual behavior as being morally acceptable. Among other members of the East African Community, only 1 percent in Tanzania, 4 percent in Rwanda, and 1 percent in Kenya had the same view. (Burundi was not surveyed.)〔("Tolerance and Tension: Islam and Christianity in Sub-Saharan Africa", The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, Pew Research Center, Appendix D: Topline: Questionnaire and Survey Results, question 85, page 276, 15 April 2010 )〕
In November 2012, the speaker of the Parliament of Uganda promised to enact a revised anti-homosexuality bill, providing for harsher penalties against suspected LGBT people and anyone who fails to report them to authorities, including long-term imprisonment and the death penalty for what the law terms "repeat offenders".
