A Ugandan newspaper, Red Pepper, has identified 45 gay and bisexual men, including army officers, priests, university lecturers, entertainers, bankers, students and lawyers. In a country where a sodomy conviction carries a penalty of life imprisonment, the decision has outraged human rights campaigners. The tabloid paper justified publication by stating that it wished "to show the nation how fast the terrible vice known as sodomy is eating up our society." Same-sex sexual relations are criminalised in Uganda under a law inherited from British colonial rule. (Via All Africa.com)
