According to Celebuzz, Depp proposed on Christmas Eve - but she didn't answer him right away. "Amber really took her time to make up her mind," a source shared. And this wasn't the first time Depp had asked: "She turned him down before," added the source, "before she said yes. So she waited and was thinking about it for a long time."
The pair met on set of The Rum Diary and confirmed their relationship in June 2012, not long after Depp's split from his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis. Later this year, the newly-engaged couple will return to the silver screen together in London Fields.

Uganda President refuses to sign anti-gay bill into law

President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has refused to sign into law an anti-gay bill passed by the country's parliament, which is aimed at imprisoning not just homosexuals, but people who talk about it without condemning the lifestyle. The President in a letter to the Country's parliament speaker said homosexuals are 'abnormal' but could be 'rescued' by improving the economy.
"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." President Museveni said
In December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay bill going against  the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the homosexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.

The Ugandan anti-gay bill seeks to make all form of homosexual activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law. Homosexuals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone who knows a homosexual and doesn't report such to police authorities would also face some sanctions if found wanting.
