White House Threatens Uganda for Rejecting LGBTQ
The White House on Wednesday condemned the Ugandan Parliament for passing legislation against the promotion of the “LGBTQIA+” agenda in the conservative Christian country, threatening to cut off aid over the law if it’s enacted.
“No one should be attacked, imprisoned, or killed simply because of who they are or whom they love,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in condemning the proposal.
Novel aspects of the law include a ban on “promoting homosexuality” among children and a heightened penalty for child rape.
