Uganda will officially pass the Kill The Gays bill at the end of this year despite international criticism.
Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said the anti-gay bill will become law by December since most Ugandans are demanding it.
Referring to the law as a Christmas gift to the population, she spoke of the serious threat posed by homosexuals.
The law will broaden the criminalization of same-sex relationships by dividing homosexuality into two categories; aggravated homosexuality and the offense of homosexuality.
Aggravated homosexuality is defined as gay acts committed by parents or authority figures, HIV-positive people, pedophiles and repeat offenders. If convicted, they will face the death penalty.
The offense of homosexuality includes same-sex sexual acts or being in a gay relationship, and will be prosecuted by life imprisonment.
Originally put to government in 2009, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill had been temporarily shelved because of international criticism.
Several European countries have threatened to cut aid to Uganda if it passes, with the UK government warning Uganda it would face severe reductions in financial help.
US President Barack Obama has described it as odious, and Canadian politician John Baird has said it is vile, abhorrent, and offends decency.
Uganda lawmaker Atim Ogwal Cecilia Barbara has even suggested there should be a continent-wide ban on homosexuality, saying all African gay people should be jailed for life.
Gay rights activist David Kato was murdered in Uganda in January 2011 shortly after a local newspaper published images of him and other gay people under a headline urging readers to hang them.
Despite this, Ugandas LGBT community held a weekend of gay pride events this summer.
According to a 2010 survey by The Pew Research Center, homosexuality is morally unacceptable to 89% of Ugandans.

I'm not gay or anything but this makes me feel sick.
people do have a choice of what sexuality they want to be, not to be killed for it

while i am against gay marriage, i still believe you should have the freedom to do what you want without god nor gov in your way. punishment for gay acts may be a little too drastic and imprisonment or death is defiantly crossing a line.

Couldn't agree more. This isn't the 1960's people need to stop being so closed minded.
