#7 What is up with Uganda?

As many people heard Uganda has recently signed a new bill. 

It pretty much says that you cannot be gay, and if you are you will be punished. Also, if you pity or speak up for someone who is gay, you will be punished. 

Here is what I do not understand...it is 2014...when can everyone realize that sexuality, race, religion, education, etc. do not make someone any different from the rest of us? 

We are all human. 
But I guess Uganda refuses to take a notice in that. People are being beaten, killed, and jailed for being gay or even speaking to a gay person. Ugandans are committing suicide
I just do not understand why this has to keep happening.
