Kampala, Uganda (AFP) Uganda's Constitutional Court on Wednesday rejected a bid to scrap a controversial anti-gay law that is considered one of the toughest in the world. The legislation was adopted in May last year, triggering outrage among the LGBTQ community, rights campaigners, the United Nations and Western powers. It imposes penalties of up to life in prison for consensual same-sex relations and contains provisions that make "aggravated homosexuality".
