今天(8月1日星期五)乌干达宪法法庭刚刚废除了将同性性行为视为犯罪的法律。去年12
月份，议会发言人Rebecca Kadaga将反同提案交与公众投票，后经总统Yoweri
Museveni签字，提案生效。五位法官认为，在未达到议会支持的必须法定人数的情况下
将提案交予公众投票是非法的，因此该法律无效。 http://www.washingtonblade.com/2014/08/01/breaking-uganda-court
BREAKING: Uganda court strikes down anti-gay law

The Constitutional Court of Uganda on Friday struck down a law that imposes
a life sentence upon anyone found guilty of repeated same-sex sexual acts.
The Associated Press reported five judges ruled that Parliamentarian Speaker
Rebecca Kadaga illegally allowed a vote on the so-called Anti-Homosexuality
Bill last December without the necessary quorum.
President Yoweri Museveni in February signed the law — under which those
who are convicted of repeated same-sex sexual acts — face a life sentence.
The White House subsequently cut aid to Kampala that funded HIV/AIDS
programs and other initiatives. The Obama administration in June announced a
travel ban against officials who are responsible for anti-LGBT human rights
abuses in the East African country.
