A court in Uganda declared its anti-gay law unconstitutional.
The “death to gays” law that was originally proposed didn’t pass but the law enacted provided for jail terms of up to life for those convicted of engaging in gay sex.
Ugandan LGBT rights advocates are calling this ruling a “step forward,” and a win for Ugandan rule of law.
The ruling invalidated the law because the Parliament lacked a quorum during the session in which it passed, according to Associate Press. The ruling can be appealed to the Supreme Court or the law can be passed again in a legal session of Parliament.
