Tomorrow marks two months since President Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Act into law. I’m currently in Uganda, at the request of our partners, to learn more about how the situation is unfolding and what the international community can do to support. A #thread.

"We shall stand firm on the issue of homosexuality, no amount of intimidation will challenge us because we are on the right side of the debate. This is an issue of the human race and we are sure about it".-@KagutaMuseveni
LGBTIQ+ community is here to stay, whether you like it or not. While some have been bold enough to come out, others are in the closet because they are afraid .So the general population should learn to deal with this
President @KagutaMuseveni🗣️: The NRM has never had two languages, what we tell you in the day is what we shall say to you at night. The signing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill is finished, NOBODY will move us, We should be ready for a war. Remember war is not for the soft.
So for a couple of days and now, lm still securing police bonds for those arrested as a result of the bill, the stories they share are unbelievable, the challenges faced while in police custody are for another day. We should be able to gather support to offer mental wellness
In less than a week, a minister and Vlogger have been gunned down. we just don’t know what awaits us as LGBTIQ activist in such a sticky patch, when such actions happen.
