In 2009 member of the Ugandese parliament David Bahati suggested a penalty raise for homosexuals. Homosexuality was already illegal, if this plan is accepted they will face death penalty. A new law that shocks human right organisations accross the world. In this seminar, dr. Kirsten Cheney will delve into various cultural logics that reveal the tensions and contradictions in Ugandans’ widespread opposition to homosexuality.
