Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)\u00a0persons in\u00a0Uganda\u00a0face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT\u00a0residents. Activists estimated in 2007 that the Ugandan LGBT community consisted of 500,000 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014\u00a0was passed on 20 December 2013 with a punishment of life in prison for &#8220;aggravated homosexuality&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law brought\u00a0Uganda\u00a0into international spotlight, and caused international outrage, with many governments refusing to provide aid to Uganda anymore. In August 2014, the Uganda Constitutional Court annulled the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Nonetheless, LGBT people continue to face\nmajor discrimination in Uganda, actively encouraged by political and religious\nleaders. Violent and brutal attacks against LGBT people are common, often\nperformed by state officials. Households headed by same-sex couples are not\neligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kawempe Police has arrested five people at Angola trading center on allegations of promoting homosexuality.
