Living in Uganda as a bisexual might feel like hell.

On Monday, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has signed into a law that basically criminalizes homosexuality, a move that is deemed 'Un-African' by many activists and human rights groups in the continent.

The bill, which was pioneered by MP David Bahati, because the country's leader realized that gayness is just a 'behavior that can be learned and unlearned.'

"Homosexuality is just bad behavior, that should not be allowed in our society," Bahati told the BBC's Newsday programme.

Pres. Museveni wasn't really that sold on the bill which has been up for debate for a really long time now. Just last month, the country leader insisted that he wouldn't put his signature on such law saying gays are just 'sick' people. However, after consulting scientists about homosexuality genes, he decided to pen it. He said that there is no such gene and gayness is a result of social environment.

According to Amnesty International, the new bill will jail those who are infected with HIV, "serial offenders" and sex with minors."

Uganda is now the 11^th African nation to implement a tight law against members of LGBT.

The law, as expected, garnered oppositions from different rights groups. Shortly after the announcement, the Twitter exploded condemning president Museveni's actions.

"I didn't even go to work today [Monday]. I'm locked up in the house," a gay rights activist told BBC.

"And I don't know what's going to happen now. I'm talking to all my activists on the phone. And it's the same, they are all locked up in their houses. They can't move out. They are watching their back to see what happens."

According to government spokesman Ofwono Opondo, the move is the president's way to "to demonstrate Uganda's independence in the face of Western pressure and provocation".

However, before Musevendi signed the bill, he sought for help from Western Countries.

"I... encourage the US government to help us by working with our scientists to study whether, indeed, there are people who are born homosexual.

"When that is proved, we can review this legislation."

In the wake of Uganda's controversial bill, Washington said that their relations with African country might be badly affected.

U.S. President Barack Obama warned that enacting the bill would affect relations between the two nations. He described the proposal as an "affront and a danger to the gay community" in Uganda.
