Survival is not a strategy. It's a starting point.
Uganda's queer movement is turning community into infrastructure — and that changes everything.

Happy Pride Month ❤️🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This week, we asked members of our community what queer joy looks like in their lives and why celebrating it matters. Here’s what they had to say.

Queer joy to me to looks like being able to hold hands and kiss my partner in public without having to look over my shoulder.
Being secure in the knowledge that my existence is not a crime, abomination or as they call it 'a sin'.

Living peacefully in my society without the worry of misconceptions about me.
Being able to be a parent without it being a stain to societal norms.

Just being queer without having to worry about society calling it queer and unusual.

“When young women internalize stigma, walking into a health facility to ask about HIV prevention tools becomes an act of courage many cannot afford. The solution? We must reverse the flow of information. Rather than waiting for them to come to us, we must take reliable, youth-friendly information directly to them through peers and safe spaces” - Shamilah Batte E.D @ogera_ug

For so many Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW), conversations about sex and HIV remain fraught with fear. Fear of judgment, stigma, and breached confidentiality. This silence is not passive; it is a barrier actively reinforced by a community and health system that often fails to meet them where they are.

Earlier today UNESO in partnership with @ogera_ug, has convened young women in Wakiso for a one-day PrEP literacy training to better understand PrEP and the different choices available in the district.

Let communities lead the way to an HIV-free future.

MYTH vs FACT

❌ Myth: Harm reduction encourages drug use.

✅ Fact: Harm Reduction recognizes that every life has value. It provides practical and compassionate support that help people stay alive, healthy, and connected to care.
Before you look at the drug, look at the person.

We asked;

What does Pride mean to you as an LGBTQ+ person living in Uganda, and how has that meaning been shaped by your experiences?

Pride, for me, is not just a celebration it is survival, resistance, and self-affirmation.

As an LGBT person in Uganda, Pride means daring to exist authentically in a society that often tells me I shouldn't. It is the courage to claim space where silence is expected, and the determination to honor my truth even when it costs me family ties.

Being disowned by my parents could have broken me, but my community became my adopted family. That act of love taught me that Pride is also about chosen kinship about finding belonging where blood ties fail. It shaped my resilience, reminding me that dignity is not granted by others but lived through self-acceptance.

Finishing school, working in Africa's leading mental health organization, and building a life with momentum are all extensions of Pride. They show that my identity does not limit me but instead it fuels me. Pride has taught me to transform rejection into purpose and to use my voice to advocate for compassion, safety, and authenticity.

So Pride to me is the rhythm of my life a refusal to shrink, a celebration of chosen love and a commitment to walk with my head high in a world that often tries to bend it low.

Happy Pride Month🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Pride to me means family, resilience, happiness, and hope for a better future. As a trans person living in Uganda, Pride is not only a celebration of who we are but also a reminder of our strength in the face of challenges.
My experiences have taught me the importance of community, chosen family, and standing together in solidarity. Pride gives me hope that a future is possible where we can live openly, safely, and with dignity.
It is a time to celebrate our existence, honor those who came before us, and continue working toward justice, inclusion, and liberation for all.

Iam honored to share that I have been selected as a 2026 Rhizome Fellowship with @CultureHackLabs .
Together with my co lead, @BafakiIsaac , we will join a global cohort of narrative change practitioners exploring how stories can transform systems and help build life affirming and regenerative futures.
Our project, rooted in the #NangeMovement and the @NangeHC256 seeks to amplify trans and queer survivors’ voices and shift narratives from criminality toward dignity, healing, and collective care.
As a trans woman pastor, writer, human rights defender and harm reduction advocate, this opportunity is deeply meaningful. It is a recognition not only of our work, but also of the resilience, wisdom, and courage of the communities we serve and belong to.
Because When we heal people, we heal the earth.🌍

[Aggie Dennett Harmon @aggiedennett]

I have never felt this proud before. 💜
What started as pain, survival, storytelling, and small conversations has now become a real healing space for our community through the @NangeHC256
Because of your support through sharing our work, encouraging us, and buying Faith That Liberates many trans women, survivors, and marginalized community members in Uganda now have a space where they can heal, connect, laugh, tell stories, create art, and exist without judgment.
For many people navigating trauma, rejection, violence, isolation, and substance use, spaces like Nange are life changing. They remind us that healing does not always have to look clinical or distant from us.
Healing is art.
Healing is community.
Healing is storytelling circles.
Healing is joy.
Healing is being seen and loved as we are.
Every copy of Faith That Liberates directly supports the work of the Nange Healing and Harm Reduction Center and helps us continue building safer, healing centered spaces for our community.
