It seems that there has been an on going issue within African countries regarding the acceptance of gay rights. In Uganda a bill was created that gave homosexuals the death penalty if they performed any homosexual acts. It also made it illegal for people to promote homosexuality in anyway. The author begins this article by discussing the governments decision to drop the aspect of the bill that called for the death penalty. He establishes his ethos by specifically saying that this bill was created as a means to increase penalties against homosexuality, because it is already illegal in Uganda. This establishes his ethos, because it becomes clear that the author disagrees with with Uganda's anti-homosexuality laws and is in astonishment that they want to make penalties more severe. The overall logos of the article expresses that the Ugandan government is wrong to discriminate, which the author shows subtly by speaking on the international pressures against the president signing the bill. Rights for homosexuals is a topic of debate all around the globe (some being more sever than others), and it seems that no one views it as a way if life that has limited rights.
