TL;DR Summary

President Joe Biden has called for the immediate repeal of Uganda's anti-gay law, which orders the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality." Biden has directed the National Security Council to evaluate the implications of the law on all aspects of U.S. engagement with Uganda, including the possibility of implementing sanctions. The legislation adds to many anti-LGBTQ laws that have been enacted on the African continent, where only 22 of 54 nations allow homosexuality.
