In news from Africa, a gay couple in the nation of Malawi have been jailed just days after they were married in the nation’s first same-sex wedding ceremony. Police have charged the couple with gross indecency. Under Malawi law, homosexuality is punishable by up to fourteen years in jail. Meanwhile, Uganda is coming under international criticism over a proposed law that would allow the government to sentence gay men and lesbians to life in prison and to jail anyone who promotes homosexuality. The bill originally called for the death penalty for so-called serial offenders of anyone who committed what was described as “aggravated homosexuality.”
