Blog: Senator Wyden Lays Out Consequences if Anti-Gay Legislation Passes in Uganda

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

January 15, 2010

According to the Infectious Diseases Center for Global Health Policy's "Science Speaks" blog, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., "went further than other U.S. government officials have so far in threatening specific repercussions if Uganda does not abandon its draconian anti-gay legislation." In a press release, Wyden said the bill "would be a violation of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)," which prohibits "gross violations of internationally recognized human rights." The Senator also sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk (Shesgreen, 1/12).
