Our silence equals our acquiescence to this atrocity in the making. The article linked here provides the email addresses of the Ugandan officials who are in a position to put a stop to this and a sample form letter to help express the community's outrage at this proposed law. Let these people know that the world is watching what they are trying to do and that what has been proposed is beneath contempt...

There are problems in Uganda which you could not possibly understand, one of which is malicious homosexual rape, which is being used by factions to perpetuate the spread of aids.

Your opinion may as counterproductive to as it is useless.
