The World Bank has postponed a 90 million dollar loan to Uganda over its tough new anti-gay law that has drawn criticism from around the world. The World Bank officials said they wanted to guarantee the projects the loan was destined to support were not going to be adversely affected by the new law. The loan was intended to help strengthen Uganda's health services. The new law, enacted on Monday, gives life sentences for gay sex and same-sex marriage.
