Ugandan lawmakers have passed a new version of an anti-gay bill that removes penalties for those who identify as LGBTQ. The country’s national assembly previously passed a sweeping bill criminalizing those who identify as LGBTQ, engage in homosexual acts, disseminate information about homosexuality, or advocate on behalf of LGBTQ causes.
