Proposed legislation would impose the death penalty for some gay
Ugandans, and their family and friends could face up to seven years in
jail if they fail to report them to authorities. Even landlords could
be imprisoned for renting to homosexuals.

[...]

The Ugandan legislation in its current form would mandate a death
sentence for active homosexuals living with HIV or in cases of
same-sex rape. "Serial offenders" also could face capital punishment,
but the legislation does not define the term. Anyone convicted of a
homosexual act faces life imprisonment.

Anyone who "aids, abets, counsels or procures another to engage of
acts of homosexuality" faces seven years in prison if convicted.
Landlords who rent rooms or homes to homosexuals also could get seven
years and anyone with "religious, political, economic or social
authority" who fails to report anyone violating the act faces three
years.
