    Adventure.com recently took a look at the question of whether Uganda's barbaric new anti-gay law might affect tourism to the country - and should it? https://adventure.com/uganda-lgbtq-laws-boycott/

    Regrettably, we must add our voice to calls for a tourism boycott of Uganda, a country with much potential but which has let virulent bigotry - much of it from anti-gay hate groups in the U.S. - lead its parliament and president to enact a draconian and barbaric law imposing prison and in some cases even the death penalty for homosexual practices. This has no place in a civilized world, and visitors have many other options when it comes to exploring African wildlife and local cultures So until this madness is stopped, please refrain from supporting it with your tourism business. Thank you. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/calls-for-a-tourist-boycott...
