A business group in Uganda including corporate giants such as Google says it opposes the country's anti-LGBTQ legislation, calling it “a concern for global businesses and investors operating or planning to invest” in the East African country.

The legislation, which prescribes the death penalty or life imprisonment for some homosexual offenses, would hurt Uganda's economy, the Open For Business coalition said in a statement Wednesday. “Diversity and inclusion are core principles of our coalition partners in the conduct of their businesses,” the statement said.

Uganda's legislature last week passed the anti-homosexuality bill. The legislation is now with Museveni, who can sign it into law or return it back to the National Assembly with proposed changes. The bill prescribes the death penalty for the offense of “aggravated homosexuality” and life imprisonment for “homosexuality," drawing fears that those who identify as LGBTQ people can be criminally prosecuted. Aggravated homosexuality is defined as cases of sex relations involving those infected with HIV as well as minors and other categories of vulnerable people. Jail terms of up to 20 years are proposed for those who advocate or promote the rights of LGBTQ people.

It’s so sad how we only pretends to respect African society and their values, as in - if you don’t do exactly what we feel is correct, there will be consequences. They jail people for pushing the gay narrative. We jail people for challenging it. Obviously we are much better.

Bunch of Jews pushing the agenda of the antichrist

One day, people in the Bay Area of California might finally learn that the world doesn't think like they do and is a very different different place to the bubble they live in.

So for business you wanna promote this ? Insane

This is a poor excuse. Rain (and inclement weather!) is 'bad for business' (depending on your type of business).

What's bad for business is this gay propaganda at every turn

Uganda sounds like a good place to live .

Russia did the same thing.

We should not be giving these people special privilege's.... They need desperate help with their individualism. How can you expect them to respect / accept people if they cannot even accept who they are It's dangerous to socity to leave this unchecked for any longer.

Don’t think they want that type of “business” in Uganda or Africa for that matter…🙄

Read: not promoting rainbow ideology hurts the pocket book. There is lots of money in promoting rainbow ideology... But they do it cuz... other reasons... like caring and empathy. 😂 Politics

Uganda has BEAUTIFUL LAWS.
