In 2023, 389 Ugandan MPS voted in favour for the "Anti-Homosexuality" bill. This still punishes homosexuality with imprisonment up to life, but the bill allows homosexuality to be punished by death in some cases. These cases are largely made up of "aggrivated homosexuality," which includes serial offenders, rapists, people with HIV, child rape or consensual sexual intercourse, and people with disabilities. "Attempted Homosexuality" can be met with up to 10 years in prison, while "Attempted Aggrivated Homosexuality" can be met with up to 14 years.

Conversion therapy: Ambiguous from past to now.
Not necessarily "banned," but certainly considered unethical by the the Norwegian Psychiatric Association and is frowned upon in the industry. "In 2000, the General Assembly of the Norwegian Psychiatric Association overwhelmingly voted for the following position statement on sexual orientation change therapy: 'Homosexuality is no disorder or illness, and can therefore not be subject to treatment. A ‘treatment’ with the only aim of changing sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual must be regarded as ethical malpractice, and has no place in the health system.'" Norway intends to officially ban conversion therapy in 2022.

Censorship of LGBT Issues: State-enforced from 2019 to Mar 22, 2023.
In 2019, the Uganda Communications Commission adopted the Standards for General Broadcast Programming in Uganda. Article 6(5) determines that “information, themes or subplots on lifestyles such as homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexualism, transsexualism, transvestism, paedophilia and incest” should not “promote, justify or glamorize” them. Further, explicit dialogue or information concerning the above topics should not be broadcasted. In addition, Article 8.6 states that sex education programmes should not encourage or promote “unnatural sex acts”.

Conversion therapy: Banned from Mar 13, 2016 to now.
In 2016, Conservative Democrat MP Rosmarie Quadranti requested the Swiss Federal Government to undertake measures to outlaw conversion therapy on LGBT minors.[68][69] The Swiss Federal Council wrote in response that in its view, conversion therapies are "ineffective and cause significant suffering to young people subjected to them", and would constitute a breach of professional duties on the part of any care professional undertaking them. As such, in its view, any care professional undertaking such therapies is already liable to be sanctioned by the cantonal authorities. Whether such therapies also constitute a criminal offense is to be determined by the criminal courts in individual cases, according to the Federal Council.
