Protesters gathered outside the Ugandan High Commission in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Monday to demonstrate against the passing of a bill which calls for life imprisonment for some homosexual acts.

Uganda's president says he opposes an anti-homosexuality bill recently passed by lawmakers and that "abnormal" people should not be jailed or killed.

A gay British man facing a charge of "trafficking obscene material" in Uganda may avert going to jail under the country's oppressive anti-homosexual laws because the government won't renew his visa.
