The "Kill the Gays" bill that was perhaps hours or days from passing has been dropped by Uganda's Parliament. This controversial bill sparked outcries from across the globe, including Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank saying that if the bill passed, aid to the nation should be cut off. Although the future of the bill is unknown, Wednesday was the last day of the legislative session.
The bill would have made homosexuality punishable by incarceration and possibly, death (as the name implies) in Uganda.
