President Uweri Museveni signed a vicious new bill into law on Monday. Some same-sex acts are now punishable by death, even so-called promoting homosexuality or renting a room to a gay couple come with long jail terms. The supporters of this law make three main arguments in its favour. First, they say that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God. Second, they peddle false conspiracy theories that gay people are recruiting children in schools. And third, they argue that homosexuality is somehow un-African and is just being promoted by the West.
