US imposes visa restrictions on Uganda government officials for passing anti-LGBTQ law






The United States has imposed visa restrictions on Ugandan government officials after the country's parliament passed an anti-LGBTQ law that has been condemned by many countries and the United Nations.



The law was enacted in May and carries the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," an offence that includes transmitting HIV through gay sex.




The law also imposes a life sentence for same-sex intercourse and a 20-year sentence for promotion of homosexuality.



Firms including media and non-governmental organizations that knowingly promote LGBTQ activity will also incur harsh fines, the law says.




The law drew immediate rebukes from the Western and put some of the billions of dollars in foreign aid the country receives each year in jeopardy.



After the law was passed, U.S. President Joe Biden threatened aid cuts and other sanctions, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last month the government would consider visa restrictions against Ugandan officials.



On Friday, June 16, the State Department released a statement saying it had given visa restrictions but did not mention any names or even the number of officials that would be hit with the visa restriction .




The statement said the U.S. would hold accountable those who are responsible for abusing human rights in Uganda, "including those of LGBTQI+ persons."



The State Department also updated its Uganda travel guidance for U.S. citizens to highlight the risk that LGBTQI+ persons could be prosecuted and subjected to life imprisonment or the death penalty based on provisions in the law, it said.


"The United States strongly supports the Ugandan people and remains committed to advancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Uganda and globally," the State Department said.


Homosexuality was already illegal in the East African country, and homosexuals faced ostracism and regular harassment by security forces, the Us department added.

Four Hilarious Things People Living Alone For The First Time Say





I have observed that there’s a behavioural pattern people living alone for the first time exhibit. You know, when they’ve lived most of their lives with their parents or with someone, and they eventually get to the stage where they can afford to live alone. You can easily spot them from the way they talk and complain about certain things, or their eagerness to share the whole homeownership/renter-ship process with the world. I have put together a list of things first-time homeowners/renters do, and if you are one or have any of them as a friend, you would relate to

Spend Cozy Season in This Bathrobe With Over 25K 5-Star Amazon Reviews

Here’s what reviewers are saying:

“I absolutely love my new robe, it’s the softest one I’ve ever had and very warm. My skin is very sensitive so I was concerned about getting a robe that might chafe but I needn’t have worried. It is going to be a luxury to wear it this winter.”

“I researched all the woman’s robes on Amazon and found this one to be the best price. Fortunately, I was also able to purchase it on Prime Day. It is made well and is very soft and comfortable. I love the burgundy color and the trim around the collar and cuffs and edge. Since I am a sewer I can honestly say they did an incredible job.”

“Came across this robe while searching for a warm but light in weight one for my mom. I ordered a smaller size for her but wanted mine to fit longer. Even in a large it is still light but toasty warm. I can double wrap the front and it is ankle length on my 5′ 2″ frame with good pockets. It has loops for the belt which is extra long. I could have easily worn a medium though I wear size 10-12 normally. The Plum is a rich purple color, very nice.”

“I sent this to my daughter at college and she lives in it! Every time we FaceTime she has the robe on. She says it’s the comfiest thing she’s ever owned.”

“I am 5’10 and was afraid it was not going to fit, I ordered up 1 size and this robe feels so soft and so warm. I love it. I will order from this company again.”

“I absolutely love this robe, I want another one in different colors it’s so soft and it’s nice and long. absolutely one of the best I’ve ever bought!!!”

“This bathrobe is so soft and comfy. It’s like the luxury robes they have the hotel robes. I ordered mine in white and I absolutely love it. Buy it!”

Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega Debuts Edgy New Look

It’s Wednesday Addams like you’ve never seen her before.

Jenna Ortega, who plays the title character on the Netflix’s new Addams Family spinoff series Wednesday, has debuted an edgy new look. The brunette actress traded in her medium-length locks for a sassy, chopped, layered bob. In a Dec. 16 Instagram post and appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 20-year-old showcases her new hairstyle while wearing a metallic, chained waist-trainer over a black, semi-sheer, white collared maxi dress with black platform pumps.

Ortega, who wears hair extensions braided into two braids to transform into Wednesday on the show, spoke to Jimmy Fallon about how she created her character’s now-viral dance to The Cramps‘ 1981 song “Goo Goo Muck.”

Ortega told Jimmy Fallon she wanted to choreograph the dance herself. “[Burton] was like, ‘I know you’ve got it. You’ve been working on it. I’m not even worried about it. I trust you.’ And I said, ‘Oh, yeah, you know, it’s all so good,'” the actress said, before adding, “I had not gone over it at all.”

Jean Smart Teases She Drives a Bulldozer in Hacks Season 3

If you ever need help clearing a bunch of rubble, give Jean Smart a call. 

The star of HBO Max’s Hacks, which is currently in production on its third season, revealed that she’s been tasked with learning some very specific new skills for the upcoming episodes.

“We’re having a blast,” she told The Rundown’s Erin Lim Rhodes at the Babylon premiere Dec. 15. “I had to learn how to drive a bulldozer the other day.”

We can’t say we’ve ever taken time to think about Deborah Vance on a bulldozer, but now we’ve never needed to see anything more. 

Jean also teased that we can look forward to her new hunky co-star giving her a lift.

“I had to get bench-pressed by Luke Macfarlane, a very handsome young actor,” Jean said, “which was kind of embarrassing.”

Sounds like a pretty solid day at the office!

Jean revealed that season three of Hacks, which has earned her two consecutive Emmys, began production on Nov. 28. Wearing a shirt reading “The Bitch Is Back,” Jean posted a photo on Instagram captioned: “Back to work, first day of shooting season 3. Yay!”
