Gay Uganda

Now, before you read further, I have to say I am sorry I didnt post this before. And, why did I not post it? I am a flawed human being. I heard of it, and didnt consider the depth of change of heart the signatories had had to make it. They have made so many inflammatory statements against us gay Ugandans that, even when there is this little change of heart, it should be lauded. But, I think them hypocrites, the leaders of the main religions in Uganda. For the greater part of five months, they have said exactly the opposite. And, me, I am irreverent, and dont consider their hypocrisy ...

Hey Guys, I have been amazed at how quickly friends rallied about the site that wants David Kuria, Director of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Kenya to be killed. Again, the poster is here. [POSTER TEMPORARILY REMOVED. WILL BE REPOSTED] Let me let you in on a secret. My reading of the Swahili is fair, but, I thought that verse was Leviticus 20:23, which reads something totally different. So, I wondered whether I was getting it wrong. Amongst my reference books is a bible that I used to use eons ago. Leviticus 20:23 is different. That set me off on a hunt. My lovers bible also shows ...

I did put up this horrible poster. And, my assesment of it here.  David Kuria Mbote happens to be the director of Gays and Lesbians of Kenya. He wrote this article in response to some homophobic insult from a priest justifying the lynching of gay people.And, for this poster, here is my translation of the Swahili above. It is not perfect, but I know I have it right.Basically, besides the pic of David, with his full names, email address, ?GALCK phone number, a verse from the bible is quoted.  'If a man sleeps with another man like he sleeps with a woman, both men have done something ...

I cant seem to be able to get time these days. But, I have to. Today is Friday. That is when we shall see whether or not the government in Kenya will be protecting its gay citizens in Mombasa against anti-gay attacks, which are supposed to occur after the Friday Prayers. 1pm today. But, here is another, very personal development.First, it would be instructive to read the whole report at LGBT Asylum news. And, then you get to the bottom of the report, there is this poster. David Kuria Mbote happens to be the director of Gays and Lesbians of Kenya. He wrote this article in response to ...

  You can't wish away African gays By DAVID KURIA Posted Wednesday, March 10 2010 at 17:22  (Someone is angry. And, it certainly is not me. I am also pissed off by churchmen who justify genocide, just because it is against gay people. We are animals, are we?) An article by Fr Dominic Waweru (Nation, March 8) says of the ongoing crisis in Mtwapa — where the youth are beating up people on suspicion of being gay — that this is "only too comprehensible". He further says that punishment often reserved for gays is lynching; presumably he also thinks such treatment is acceptable. Let's ...

Ugggh, I have tried to keep away from the blog. I just cannot. Seems I will have to do a sort of review. So, here it is. I am just sating my thirst, so bear with me. Senegal has become a hot bed of homophobia. It is troubling to open this kind of can of worms and look to the future that homophobes are dragging Uganda towards. Have a look and see. Here is the article.  Uganda- now, this article in the Independent seeks to say things without really saying them. Apparently, us gay Ugandans, and the powerful gay lobby are stronger than the perennially outplayed opposition in Uganda. Or, is ...

Here is part of the reason I do think that dear Pastor Martin Ssempa is a homosexual who is dealing badly with his sexual orientation. Of course I feel sorry for him. But, that does not excuse his utter dishonesty, the lies, the persecution of other gay people because we have accepted OUR sexuality. Read the article below. And be enlightened.   Roy Ashburn, a California state senator who has staunchly opposed gay rights has announced that he is homosexual. Published: 9:00PM GMT 08 Mar 2010 Senator Roy Ashburn has announced that he is homosexual Photo: GETTY Mr Ashburn, a ...

  The Government in Kenya is Reluctant to Protect Citizens of Kenya, because they are gay. Those who are not gay can issue threats on the Radio Stations with impunity. And promise and then carry out Genocide or Ethnic Cleansing with impunity. Now, they say that the next attacks will be more brutal. And, they will happen after Friday Prayers on 12 Mar. 2010 Now, we all know. What will the Government of Kenya for its citizens who are gay and persecuted for that reason? Read this heartrending letter of appeal.   Hello All,   A fresh Threat to Gay People in Mombasa has been issued, a ...

Uganda is the only country in the world that has a public holiday for women. Kind of funny. It was good political PR when it came. M7 wanted the support of this bloc, and he did get it. But, I am sure that is kind of wearing thin. But, I am no political analyst. Congratulations to the Women of Uganda. Happy Women’s Day. Yesterday I had this horrible experience of fear of gay people. A singer who was singing anti-gay lyrics. But, I have promised not to release that post until I confirm what happened. Oh yes, I will. The petition did receive lots of coverage all over the world. You know, the ...

  The Global Forum on MSM & HIV (MSMGF) applauds efforts by people living with HIV in Uganda to stand up against the proposed "Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009", and urges HIV service providers in the country to join them by making a clear, collective public statement condemning the proposed legislation and calling for its immediate dissolution. If enacted, this legislation will have a profoundly detrimental impact upon the effort to address HIV in Uganda. Implementing organizations dedicated to delivering HIV & AIDS prevention, treatment and care services in Uganda have contributed ...
