Ugandan men hold a rainbow flag reading “Join hands to end LGBTI (Lesbian Gay Bi Trans Intersex – called Kuchu in Uganda) genocide” as they celebrate on August 9, 2014 during the annual gay pride in Entebbe, Uganda. Uganda’s attorney general has filed an appeal against the constitutional court’s decision to overturn tough new anti-gay laws, his deputy said on August 9. Branded draconian and “abominable” by rights groups but popular domestically, the six-month old law which ruled that homosexuals would be jailed for life was scrapped on a technicality by the constitutional court on August 1.
