Demoralization shill posts are never notable, self-nom was cute touch, but still shite

Uganda to jail people who identify as LGBTQ in one of world's most anti-gay laws
By Emmanuel Akinwotu March 22, 2023
LAGOS, Nigeria — Uganda's parliament has passed some of the most sweeping anti-LGBTQ legislation in the world. Same-sex acts were already unlawful in Uganda, but on Tuesday night, lawmakers voted to ban identifying as LGBTQ, or the so-called promotion of gay identity.
In a packed chamber, lawmakers overwhelmingly voted in favor of the new anti-homosexuality bill, with only two of the nearly 400 representatives voting against it.
"Congratulations," said Speaker Anita Among. "Whatever we are doing, we are doing it for the people of Uganda."
Same-sex acts have been criminal in Uganda under British colonial-era laws, but this new legislation goes much further. It punishes anyone identifying as gay or queer, and potentially people or rights groups seen as promoting LGBTQ+ identity, and same-sex relations could be punishable with up to life imprisonment. Homosexuality is criminalized in more than 30 of Africa's 54 countries.
International condemnation has been swift.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted that the bill "would undermine fundamental human rights of all Ugandans." He added, "We urge the Ugandan Government to strongly reconsider the implementation of this legislation."
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Washington is "watching this real closely," and did not rule out possible economic "repercussions" if the legislation is implemented.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called it a "deeply troubling development."
"If signed into law by the president, it will render lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Uganda criminals simply for existing, for being who they are," he said. "It could provide carte blanche for the systematic violation of nearly all of their human rights and serve to incite people against each other."
Uganda passed a previous anti-homosexuality law in 2014 but the courts struck it down on procedural grounds, following outrage in Uganda and from international donors.
Human Rights Watch called the new legislation a "more egregious version."
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who has spoken in support of the legislation, is expected to sign it into law.

UBS Likely to Shrink Credit Suisse’s $10 Billion Shipping Portfolio -Report
Reuters March 22, 2023
March 22 (Reuters) – UBS Group AG will likely shrink Credit Suisse Group’s $10 billion shipping portfolio that it inherited as part of its emergency takeover on Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
UBS could also try to sell the portfolio, but doing so could prompt owners to move their accounts elsewhere, the WSJ reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
About half of the shipping portfolio involves Greek ship owners that use their deposits in the bank’s wealth management arm as collateral to finance new ships, the report added.
“Our wealth management business in Greece is an integral part of our strategy in the Europe region and one we are looking to grow, having recently announced a new market head to support those ambitions,” UBS said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Credit Suisse did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Swiss authorities announced last week that UBS had agreed to buy its rival Credit Suisse in a merger aimed at containing a crisis of confidence that was spreading through global banking.

Union Worker Strike Closes Germany’s Hamburg Port to Large Ships
Reuters March 22, 2023
BERLIN, March 22 (Reuters) – The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) has closed the port to large ships because of a strike announced by the Verdi union over wages, it said on Wednesday.
“Due to the massive restrictions to be expected from the announced warning strikes, the administration has decided to block the Elbe for ships requiring pilotage from around 10 a.m. today until further notice,” a spokesperson for HPA said.
From 5.30 p.m. (1630 GMT) onwards, such ships will no longer be able to leave the port because the crews of boats that bring pilots on board container ships are taking part in the protests, the spokesperson added.
Around 18 ships bound for Hamburg will be affected by the move. The number of ships not able to leave the port is more difficult to quantify for logistical reasons.
Verdi plans to continue the protest until Friday at 6 a.m. It has also called on workers at Hamburg airport to walk out as part of the public sector wage dispute. The protests, scheduled to last 24 hours, are to begin with the night shift on March 22.

Lawmakers in Uganda Approve Death Penalty Anti-LGBTQ+ Law
Donald Padgett Wed, March 22, 2023 at 6:00 AM EDT
Lawmakers in the east African country of Uganda on Tuesday voted in favor of a proposed law that would criminalize same-sex sexual relations and levy harsh penalties for allies, advocates, and those who do business with members of the LGBTQ+ community.
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2023 would imprison individuals found to have engaged in same-sex sexual relations with a prison sentence of up to 10 years, and those who attempt to engage in such sex acts with five years in prison. Those found to have engaged in “aggravated homosexuality” (reportedly sex involving minors or impaired individuals, non-consensual sex, or incest) would be subject to the death penalty. The proposed law would also permit authorities to “issue a protection order” for any youth suspected of engaging in same-sex sexual relations.
The bill has been championed by President Yoweri Museveni, who said the law is necessary to protect the country’s culture from corrupt foreign influences. Museveni has ignored constitutional term limits and held power since 1986.
During a state address on Thursday, he described LGBTQ+ folks as “deviations from normal” and called for further research on same-sex sexual attraction, according to the AFP.
“Is it by nature or nurture?” Museveni asked. “We need to answer these questions.”
Museveni has a history of anti-LGBTQ+ language and targeting the LGBTQ+ community. During a 2014 interview with CNN, he called gay people “disgusting” and lauded a commission of scientists he said proved that same-sex sexual attractions were abnormal learned behavior.
“I was regarding it as an inborn problem,” he said at the time. “Genetic distortion – that was my argument. But now our scientists have knocked this one out.”
Activists said the bill was especially dangerous.
“One of the most extreme features of this new bill is that it criminalizes people simply for being who they are as well as further infringing on the rights to privacy, and freedoms of expression and association that are already compromised in Uganda,” Oryem Nyeko, Uganda researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. “Ugandan politicians should focus on passing laws that protect vulnerable minorities and affirm fundamental rights and stop targeting LGBT people for political capital.”
