Boston University Graduate Talk Series on Religion and Public Policy Today In 2010, an “Anti-Homosexuality Bill” was introduced into the Parliament of Uganda that outlawed homosexual sex and called for the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality.” Many observers have noted ties between far-right US evangelicals and several of the law’s most prominent supporters in Uganda. While the role of Americans was important, the law itself emerged out of a much more complex field that included changes in global Christianity, the impact of neoliberalism, and HIV/AIDS policy. The presentation will position Uganda’s sexual politics in a larger context that challenges the ideological injection model that has dominated US discussions of the law.
