Anti-Homosexuality Bill??

People in Uganda are protesting against the new Anti-Homosexuality Bill that may be passed in the east African country. Now I think this is too much. Is it anyone's business what people chose to do with their lives? No. It's not affecting you, so why care? It is the life and choice of the people who are gay or who chose to be. This bill is very drastic. The bill will allow people who are gay to be sentenced to years in jail, or even killed!? What for? This bill will also "forbid the "promotion of homosexuality," which in effect bans organizations working in HIV and AIDS prevention." So why would anyone want to get tested? If they come back positive, they may be executed. I think this bill is a bad idea because after it is passed, no one would want to test to see if they are positive for HIV, because they don't want to risk being executed. This bill will only drive people away from the counseling and help they can get if positive. All in all, in my opinion, I don't think this bill should be passed.
