Dare I say this? Things seems to be going pretty well with the gay rights movement. We’re seeing same-sex marriage being legalised in an increasing number of nations; it’s actually legalised recently in some countries by popular vote. But, this positive direction isn’t ubiquitous. We have to face how far the world as a whole must come still, and you know what? By taking a look at some of the worst and topical areas for gay rights movements, I’ve figured out a lot about the nature of outright homophobia and what it is society must overcome. This isn’t my usual kind of ‘fun-facts’ video, but I’ve learned a lot from researching this… So, stick with me for a bit – hopefully I can show you too. So let me try to share, and inform you a little bit more about: What happens if… You’re a homosexual in Uganda.
To begin, here’s something from the mouth of Uganda’s minister for ethics, Simon Lokodo:
‘We have laws that govern this society, and they are very clear. Uganda is not a home for homosexuals… These homos are everywhere; in schools, churches, families, government institutions, villages… ooh they are everywhere. Now my commitment is to fight them; even if I remain alone, I will not give up this fight.’
So here’s the question: what happens if you’re gay in Uganda? The answer… Well, if Lokodo’s words gave a hint… then gather ‘round, this is core to understanding homophobia. Let’s start by looking at: Uganda law and homosexuality.
Uganda’s Penal Code Act makes illegal ‘unnatural acts’, with punishments up to life sentences. Well, what’s an unnatural act? Guess that depends on the interpreter. Too bad that ambiguity and laws don’t work well together.
Two years ago, the anti-homosexuality act was signed by Uganda’s current president – it cleared up the Penal Code Act, counting homosexuality a crime, in some cases worthy of a life sentence in prison. In its original version, it suggested the penalty for attempts at gay marriage.
The worst part? It was passed illegally, lacking the right number of law-makers for the vote.
So what does a homosexual in Uganda do? Face prosecution, life imprisonment, substantial fines. Let’s be thankful that that isn’t what the people of Uganda did. The gay-rights organization, Sexual Minorities Uganda, or SMUG for short, took legal action – eventually getting the law ruled null by Uganda’s Constitutional Court.
But the struggle for defending equality continues. Late 2014, the ‘prohibition of promotion of unnatural sexual practices bill’ was leaked online. If this is passed, homosexuals can be arbitrarily imprisoned for… Up to seven years! Since its discovery, SMUG have been raising awareness about the bill, doing everything they can to prevent its arrival. So far, no word of it being passed.

LOKODO: REFRAIN FROM GAY ACTIVITIESThe minister for ethics and integrity Rev Fr. Simon Lokodo has reiterated government stance against homosexuality and its promotion in the country, and stressed his ministry’s commitment to the continue fighting the practice.
Speaking in the wake of growing condemnation of Thursday’s disbandment of a gathering of LGBT members assembled at Venom Pub, Kabalagala, Fr. Lokodo said that under no circumstances will the government condone promotion of LGBT practices and lifestyle.
About a dozen people, majorly the event organizers were briefly detained by police, who claimed that the gathering was not authorized by police and was therefore unlawful.
The raid was sternly criticized internationally with the United States government through its Kampala Embassy warning that this was an addition to Uganda police’s continuous undermining of the rights of Ugandans.
According to Fr. Lokodo, African values and cultures consider sexual activity to be private and personal, and it is not conducted in public and that neither is homosexuality.

On Saturday armed policemen blocked over 100 LGBT people from staging the annual event at two separate locations outside the capital, Kampala.
Patrons were ordered into the vehicles and driven to Kampala for questioning. They were later set free without any charges.

Members of the LGBTQ community receive no protection from discrimination, violence, arbitrary arrests, and forced evictions. Several people were recently forced into a safe house after a local tabloid printed their photo alongside the headline "500 (UG) Gays Hold Secret Party". Filmmaker Katie Nelson traveled to the capital city of Kampala to interview several of young Ugandans in hiding and asked them, "What does love mean to you?" Editor Joshua Carlon weaves together their responses into a touching piece about the power of love in the face of oppression.

Draconian Homosexuality in UgandaThis is a retrospective documentary about the situation of homosexuals in Uganda during the controversial debates around the infamous " Kill the gay Bill" proposed by David Bahati in 2009 to the Ugandan Parliament and passed as Act in 2013. The Act was dropped by the Supreme Court as "not conform to the constitution of Uganda" only few months later, leaving a deep scar on Ugandan's Human Rights With several one to one interviews, I captured both sides of the issue from pastors, politicians, teachers, activist and artists. (Including the mister of ethic and integrity, the British producer David Cecil and the well known gay activist Dr Frank Mugisha)
The result is a crashing variety of opposite mentalities with only one thing in common, Uganda.
The documentary was produced, filmed and edited by www.ranierifilm.com

Uganda's president Museveni argued that oral is wrong because "mouths are meant for eating"Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has said "outsiders" are trying to corrupt his people by convincing them to have oral . During a public speech on Sunday, Museveni said that oral is “wrong” because mouths are “meant for eating.”“Let me take this opportunity to warn our people publicly about the wrong practices indulged in and promoted by some of the outsiders,” Museveni told the audience. “One of them is what they call oral . The mouth is for eating, not for .”“We know the address of ; we know where is,” Museveni warned ominously, as the audience laughed. Uganda’s President has overseen a crackdown against LGBTI people that has seen gay criminalized and gay rights activists beaten and killed during his rule. In 2014, he signed a short-lived anti-homouality act that made it illegal for someone not to report another person for being gay, putting the friends and family members of LGBT people at risk of breaking the law. Gay people could be sentenced to up to 14 years in jail under the legislation.“In a country where the climate for LGBTI people was already h...
