At least that's what a new dispatch from GlobalPost says:
Uganda's "Anti-Homosexuality Bill," which raised a worldwide uproar over its death penalty for gay sex, has stalled in parliamentary committee and it is unlikely to be passed in the current session, according to gay activists here.Of course, as we've said time and time again here on Amplify, nothing short of the bill's complete revocation would be acceptable. But it is good to see this hateful measure losing steam.
Right from the start, on Oct. 13, 2009 when Ugandan member of parliament David Bahati submitted the bill, the proposed legislation caused national and international outrage.
Almost 10 months later, the bill remains with the Ugandan Parliament's Committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, never having made it to a vote.
