Ugandan radio station fined for gay content

   A Ugandan radio station that hosted four gay men during a talk show
   has been fined the equivalent of 800 euros. A spokesman for the
   Ugandan Broadcasting Council, which imposed the fine, called the
   programme on August 26 "very offensive". Homosexual acts are illegal
   in Uganda and can carry sentences of up to life imprisonment. Radio
   station officials said that the guests were protesting against
   discrimination over their sexual orientation. The radio station has
   paid the fine and apologised.
