Uganda lawmaker who called for gay people to be castrated denied entry into the US
The U.S. has denied a visa to a Ugandan member of parliament who suggested homosexual people should be castrated.
During a speech in support of Uganda’s 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act – which punishes homosexuality and its “promotion” with prison time and death – MP Sarah Achieng Opendi suggested an amendment that would allow gay people to be castrated so they couldn’t “continue with homosexuality” in prison.
