Following President Jonathan�s signing of the same sex bill, Uganda has followed suit. On Monday 24th February 2014, President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-gay bill into law. The law is aimed at criminalizing all homosexual relations; offenders face a 14-year jail term while more convictions may lead to life sentences. CNN�s Christiane Amanpour spoke to one of Uganda�s gay rights activists Pepe Julian via a telephone conversation from the nation�s capital city Kampala. She revealed that members of the gay community are afraid of losing their lives and would rather take their lives than live under the law.
