It is not easy being gay in Uganda and it could be about to get even more difficult.

Gay people in Uganda have long alleged persecution

Homosexual acts are already illegal, but the Anti-Homosexuality Bill proposes new offences and urges the toughening of existing penalties.

The new law is being discussed in Parliament and would create a new crime of "aggravated homosexuality".

It would target gay people who have sex while HIV-positive, or if their partner has a disability, or is under 18.

The crime would be punishable by death.
