Across Africa there are moves afoot to toughen laws against the gay community.
In May, President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill – giving Uganda some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world.
But now Ghana’s and Kenya’s parliaments are due to soon start debating even tougher legislation.
Just after the Ugandan bill was passed, MPs from a number of countries across the continent attended a networking conference in Entebbe sponsored by the socially conservative US Mormon pressure group ‘Family Watch International’.
One of them was the MP behind the Kenyan bill, George Peter Kaluma.
The BBC’s Catherine Byaruhanga spoke to him.
