In Uganda, a 2013 Pew Research Center poll found that a staggering 96 per cent of respondents answered “No” to the question “Should society accept homosexuality?” Both male and female homosexuality is illegal in the country, with male homosexuality carrying a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Like many commonwealth nations, these laws are a legacy of British colonisation. A 2015 survey of over 100,000 gay men from 120 countries worldwide ranked Uganda as the worst place to be gay, with the majority of Ugandan respondents saying that life in the country is becoming more difficult.
