All human beings deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression should not define the quality of life that a person deserves to live🌈

"An opportunity to feel free. To be in a safe space. To meet people who look just like me; that I feel I can belong with, because many times in our society we dont get the chance to be in a space where we were are free to be ourselves."- Thuthu Magagula

What is happening in Tanzania?

According to our siblings in TZ, there is an operation to arrest queer people so the police are walking into informal settlements where they are randomly arresting folks especially in the Lake Zone region.

Zimbabwe LGBTIQ Sector Press Statement on Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023. #challengetheantihomosexualitylaw #NoToHate #solidarity #saynotohomophobia #protectqueerugandans

[Out & Proud Southern Africa @OutProud4]

The anti-homosexuality bill has passed as law. Uganda has chosen to turn it's back on it's people and to completely ignore the very basis of human rights. No one deserves to live a life that is full of uncertainty and fear. ✊🏾🏳‍🌈 love shall prevail.
