    Africa is quickly turning into a nightmare for LGBTQ+ people with the rise of right wing policies.

    Hope they stay safe!!

    cases deemed “aggravated,” which include repeat offenses, gay sex that transmits terminal illness, or same-sex intercourse with a minor, an elderly person or a person with disabilities.

    If they took out the “gay sex” and the “by death” parts, it would almost sound like a reasonable general rule.

      You think someone should be locked up for “repeat offenses” of having sex? Is that reasonable?

        That’s why I said “almost”. Like, “repeat offenses” on itself is nonsense, but “repeat offenses” + “spreading an illness”, should probably get the “aggravated” treatment.

          The law’s authors are motivated by homophobia, not public health.

          I doubt suggesting tweaks is a good use of time and efforts. It should simply be opposed , and its authors shamed.
