Gay in Uganda: A life or death situation

Reuters
About this episode

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni must this week either sign, veto, or send back to parliament one of the world’s toughest anti-gay bills. Whatever he decides, life for the country’s LGBTQ community is a dangerous endeavor. A corruption scandal at FC Barcelona and the war of words over Spain’s fascist past. Abortion activists and doctors look for alternatives as the Supreme Court considers the future of abortion pill Mifepristone.
