14:17Now PlayingDespite widespread international condemnation, Uganda's parliament has this week passed an amended version of a controversial anti-LGBTQ bill. The first draft was rejected by the President in March - but if he signs this watered down version into law it could see some same sex acts punishable by the death penalty. For Uganda's existing LGBTQ community the debate surrounding the bill has already left many fearing for their lives and questioning whether they need to flee the country.
Events are taking place around the world to mark the International Day against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. Organisers say the rights of LGBTQ people are increasingly at risk in some places. While many countries HAVE passed legislation recognizing the rights of transgender people or same-sex parents, others are rolling back protections. Protests have taken place across the United States, where campaigners say hundreds of new laws have been passed which attack the rights of LGBTQ people.
