Uganda's president to sign anti-gay bill Monday

ENTEBBE, Uganda (AP) — Uganda's president is expected on Monday to sign into law a controversial anti-gay bill that has harsh penalties for homosexual offenses.

The Uganda Media Center invited journalists Monday to witness the signing ceremony at the president's official residence in Entebbe, about 40 kilometers (24.86 miles) from the capital, Kampala.

The bill is popular in Uganda, but international rights groups have condemned it as draconian in a country where homosexuality is already criminalized.

U.S. President Barack Obama has urged Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni not to sign the bill, saying it would "complicate" the east African country's relationship with Washington.

3. Francis, the Pope is spiritual leader of 42% of Uganda and his silence along

with the vigorous support of his Bishops, has helped legitimize and allow this law. Not a word against it from him, many words of support for it from his subordinates.
