Uganda is considering criminalising anyone who simply identifies as gay.
A bill before the Ugandan parliament could see anyone who identifies as belonging to the LGBTQ+ community sentenced to ten years in prison.
The bill would also make it illegal for landlords to rent accommodation to people identifying as gay.
Sexual relations between people of the same sex are already illegal in Uganda but people have previously been free to identify as gay without any penalties.
