Ugandan president to consult lawmakers on strict anti-LGBTQ bill

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was Thursday scheduled to meet lawmakers from his party to discuss a strict anti-LGBTQ bill ahead of a deadline to sign it, veto it or send it back to parliament for revisions.

Human rights activists and the US government say the bill is among the harshest pieces of legislation penalising sexual minorities anywhere in the world. The UN, EU and a long list of corporate giants have condemned it.
