The arrest of two women in Uganda for allegedly kissing in public and the subsequent dismissal of their case leaves a clear lesson: the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 fuels fear, stigma, and injustice. It must be repealed. https://t.co/z8B7h5iOWY

🚨 Zohran Mamdani has created NYC's first-ever Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

We celebrated Pride with the Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs to honor the queer and trans New Yorkers who help make this the greatest city on earth.

At a moment when politicians in Washington are targeting trans people, rolling back rights, and trying to divide us, Pride this year is a reminder that we must always stand together and fight for one another.

Happy Pride, New York City.

Allow us to be the bearers of very good news!✨

This week, on May 20th, 2026, The Kenyan High Court affirmed that transgender Kenyans are fully entitled to seek changes to gender and sex markers on official documents.

But the win didn’t start there…

On this #Kingsday 2026, I thank the Kingdom of Netherlands 🇳🇱 @NLinUganda for your solidarity, unity with structurally marginalised communities like the Uganda 🇺🇬LGBTIQ+ community, who desire to live in peace and contribute to Uganda's Economic Development goals. #RepealAHA23

[Frank Mugisha @frankmugisha]

The two women arrested in Uganda for allegedly kissing have been granted bail by the court and are home with their families in good spirits, but they still face active charges under the Anti-Homosexuality Act; we call for the urgent and immediate dismissal of all charges and continued advocacy to ensure their permanent safety as we challenge the use of anti-gay laws against any Ugandan.

Likewise, LGBTQI+ Ghanaians are not criminals. They are children, mothers, fathers, family & friends. Thousands of LGBTQI+ Ghanaians risk being ripped from their homes, families, and their future. Their story should not end in criminalization & prison. It should end in justice.
