5 | The parliament of Uganda overwhelmingly passed a controversial anti-homosexuality bill on December 20, 2013 that would punish gays and lesbians with life in prison in some cases as well as jail anyone who did not report gay people to authorities. | Nolanian'ny ankamaroan'ny tao amin'ny Parlemantan'i Ogandà ny 20 Desambra 2013 teo ny volavolan-dalàna manohitra ny fifankatiavan'olon-droa mitovy taovam-pananahana izay miteraka resabe, hanasazy an-tranomaizina mandrapahafatiny amin'ny tranga sasany ireo lahy sy vavy tia ny mitovy fananahana aminy ary koa hampigadra ny olona izay tsy nitoroka ny olona tia ny mitovy aminy any amin'ireo manam-pahefana. |
6 | The bill was passed shortly after the socially conservative country's parliament approved an anti-pornography bill that would criminalize clothing that shows a woman's thighs, like mini-skirts. | Nekena io volavolan-dalàna io taoriana kelin'ny naneken'ilay parlemantam-pirenena mpitahiry ny soatoavina ara-tsosialy ny volavolan-dalàna manohitra ny horonantsary mamoafady izay hanameloka ny fitafiana mampiseho ny fem-behivavy, tahaka ny zipo fohy kely. |
7 | Ugandan member of parliament, David Bahati, who proposed the anti-homosexuality bill back in 2009, re-tabled the bill after removing clauses seeking the death penalty following intense public and international pressure. | Ny mpikambana ao amin'ny parlemanta Ogandey, David Bahati, izay nanolotra ny volavolan-dalàna manohitra ny fifankatiavan'olon-droa mitovy tamin'ny 2009, dia namerina nametraka io volavolan-dalàna io taorian'ny nanatsoahany ireo fepetra mikatsaka ny sazy fanamelohana ho faty taorian'ny tsindrim-bahoaka sy ny tsindry iraisam-pirenena. |
8 | During the parliamentary debate, there was exchange of words between Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi and Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga, after the prime minister argued that the parliament did not meet the minimum number of members present to hold the vote. | Nandritra ny adihevitry ny parlemanta, nisy ny fifandirana teo amin'ny Praiminisitra Amama Mbabazi sy ny Mpitondratenin'ny Parlemanta Rebecca Kadaga, taorian'ny nitsikeran'ny praiminisitra fa tsy ampy ny isan'ireo mpikambana ambany indrindra tokony tratrarina mba hanaovana izany latsabato izany. |
9 | The law is now awaiting president's signature. | Miandry ny sonian'ny filoha io lalàna io ankehitriny. |
10 | The president has less than two months to sign the bill into the law, or to send it back to the floor of parliament for amendment. | Manana roa volana latsaka ny filoha hanaovana sonia ilay lalàna, na handefasana izany hiverina any amin'ny efitry ny parlemanta hoasiam-panitsiana. |

25 | #AntiGayBillPassed in #Uganda is truly sad. | Tena mampalahelo ny fandaniana ilay lalàna #AntiGayBillPassed ao #Uganda. |
26 | It's also a criminal offense to know someone is gay and not report them? | Heloka bevava ihany koa ve ny fahalalana olona tia olona mitovy aminy ka tsy mampahafantatra ny fisiany? |
27 | Insane | Adala |

41 | | Nitsikera ny mpamaky iray ao amin'ny vohikalan'ny Daily Monitor, EJS : |
42 | Ridiculous! | Mampihomehy! |
43 | Ban on homosexuality and mini-skirts. | Fandrarana ny Fifankatiavan'olon-droa mitovy sy ny zipo fohy kely. |
44 | NO WONDER THIS IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES!!! | TSY MAHAGAGA RAHA IRAY AMIN'IREO FIRENENA ERAN-TANY TSY MIVOATRA INDRINDRA!!! |
45 | Lol (MPs; get a real job and stop stealing tax payers money!) | Laolina (Solombavambahoaka; ‘ny asa tena atao izy ary ajanony ny fangalarana ny volan'ireo mpandoa hetra!) |
46 | Another reader, John Buluma, said that there are more serious issues that should be focused on, like corruption, rather than homosexuality: | Nilaza ny mpamaky iray hafa, John Buluma, fa misy ireo olana goavana kokoa tokony hifantohana, tahàka ny kolikoly, mihoatra noho ny fifankatiavan'olon-droa mitovy fananahana: |
47 | This just confirms that Uganda is the worst place to be gay on earth. | Manamarina fotsiny izany fa i Ogandà no toerana ratsy indrindra eran-tany ho an'ny olona tia ny mitovy aminy. |
48 | Why focus on none [sic] issues when they country is decaying with corruption? | Maninona no mifantoka amin'ireo olana tsy misy [sento kely] raha toa ka mitotongana anaty kolikoly ny firenena? |
