On October 14, 2009 the Ugandan parliamentarian David Bahati introducted the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. This law would seek to put Ugandan who are LGBT HIV - positive found having sex to be put to death by the death penalty. What's important is that this bill has been put on hold due to the pressure from the Obama administration, U.S. Congress and numerous human rights organizations. Unfortunately the stalling of the bill has not stopped the on going violence and harassment against homosexuals in Uganda.
