NPR reports that on March 22, lawmakers in Uganda voted to outlaw identifying as LGBTQ+.
Only two out of close to 400 representatives voted against the anti-homosexuality bill.
While same-sex acts were already unlawful in the country, the new legislation takes it much further.
If enacted, someone who has sex with an
HIV-positive person, deemed "aggravated homosexuality," can be put to death.
Advocate groups or anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ can also be jailed and punished.
The bill, which represents some of the most anti-LGBTQ legislation on the planet, has been criticized by activists and civil rights groups.
The LGBTQI community
has basically been told, you
can't raise your head, you can't
be seen, you can't be heard, Richard Lusimbo, Ugandan LGBTQ activist, via NPR.
The Anti-Homosexuality Act passed by the Ugandan Parliament yesterday would undermine fundamental human rights of all Ugandans and could reverse gains in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
We urge the Ugandan Government to strongly reconsider the implementation of this legislation, Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State, via Twitter.
If signed into law by the president, it will render lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Uganda criminals simply for existing,
for being who they are.
It could provide carte blanche for the systematic violation of nearly all of their human rights and serve to incite people against each other, Volker TĂŒrk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, via statement.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is expected to sign the bill into law
In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor. During a tour of the controversial âAlligator Alcatrazâ migrant detention center in Florida, Trump called Mamdani a âcommunistâ and claimed, âwe donât need him in this country.â
Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian American and U.S. citizen since 2018, has fired back â refusing to be intimidated and calling Trumpâs words âan attack on democracy.â This video breaks down the explosive exchange, the rising tensions in the 2025 mayoral race, and why this moment could redefine the political landscape of Americaâs biggest city.

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, âCivilized people in America donât eat like this. Go back to the Third World.â
The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle DâSouza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh DâSouza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines âAmerican values.â

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor OrbĂĄnâs right-wing government.
Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to âban loveâ and labeled the event a protest against what she called âfascistâ attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. BalĂĄzs OrbĂĄn, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a âyoung, angry personâ offering âunsolicited advice,â also referencing her âfailed Gaza activism.â
The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say OrbĂĄn's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunbergâs visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungaryâs politics â and one that's drawing international attention.

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trumpâs Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGEâs early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

The UNâs top human rights official, Volker TĂŒrk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as âdeeply corrosiveâ to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. TĂŒrk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the courtâs independence from political pressure.
