Abstract
The issue of homosexuality has attracted a lot of heated debate
in the world with dire consequences to the citizenry of some of the
countries involved in this debacle. In Uganda the criminalization of
homo-sexuality in 20141 has complicated the relationship between the
Ugandan government and many her Western donors. Some diplomats
have been threatened with deportation and in others financial aid has
been withheld. Death through mob action has also occurred to some
of the victims. The acts (homosexuality) have radical purveyors on
one hand and radical perpetrators on the other, making it a contentious
issue. This brief aims at examining ways and means for the various
stakeholders of this issue to mitigate the effect of the law considering
that it is already settled law in Uganda.
