Ugandan LGBTQ Activist Braces for Fight of Life
Ugandan LGBTQ activist Frank Mugisha says he feels an obligation to fight against a new bill formally known as the ‘"Anti-Homosexuality" bill - though he says his community lives at the peril of their lives in the face of growing anti-gay sentiments. Mugisha tells Reuters that although President Yoweri Museveni has yet to sign the bill, many of Ugandan LGBTQ+ persons have left the country or fled their homes for safety since it was passed. His activism work could land him in jail under a provision that punishes the "promotion" of homosexuality with up to 20 years in prison.
