On February 24th, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed the bill formerly known as the "Kill The Gays Bill" into law. The law, which once included the death penalty, calls for gay Ugandans or anyone “promoting” homosexuality to be jailed – potentially for life.
President Obama and Secretary Kerry have both issued strongly worded warnings to President Museveni that passing this law could adversely affect Uganda's relationship with the United States.
Since this bill has now been signed into law, the administration should formulate an appropriate response. This should include withdrawal of the United States ambassador (Scott DeLisi) from Kampala, and suspension of all non-humanitarian assistance.
