Meet Frank Mugisha: A Ugandan Activist Daring to Speak Out Against Bill to Jail & Kill LGBQT People
We speak with Ugandan LGBTQ activist Frank Mugisha about a draconian new anti-gay bill the country is on the verge of imposing, which makes it a crime to identify as queer, considers all same-sex conduct to be nonconsensual, and even allows for the death penalty in certain cases. Both the Biden administration and the U.N. secretary-general are urging Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni not to sign the bill into law. Mugisha says anti-LGBTQ measures in Uganda reflect the legacy of British colonialism, which introduced anti-sodomy laws across Africa, as well as the influence of the U.S. religious right. "The homophobia and transphobia we are seeing toward queer and trans people in Uganda is from the West," says Mugisha, Uganda's most prominent gay rights activist, who could face decades in prison for "promotion" of homosexuality under the new legislation.

There is a mindset that lgbt issues causes God to bring destruction if left unrestrained/legal. Personally, i feel the combination of extreme violence,rape 🚸 child trafficking in "normy"citizens, combined with large numbers of citizens linked to violent sub behavior in societal taboo'd sexuallity groups"( non normies)"can clearly cause a low energy downward spiral, or spiritual vortex of sorts. This is just a theory I've carefully awakened too after many year of bible research and meditated prayer. By and large,lgbt's are extremely non violent ,unless things have changed drastically in recent years.

So true, crazy
This draft piece of legislation didn’t materialise out of thin air. Mugisha is spinning some of the facts here & embellishing others. This issue started with their attempts at trying to ‘mainstream’ LGBTQ issues in Uganda when people just lived their lives trying to raise & educate their children. Indeed, “homosexuals” have always existed as our brothers & sisters in our communities. They were very few, an integral part of the culture, partook in our traditions & customs & no one ever spoke of them as a distinct “community.” It wasn’t until Mugisha & other foreign funded organizations started to organize public campaigns about this that divisions started to appear. This bill started out as relatively mild, albeit a controversial draft, that largely sought to curtail public displays, promotion, grooming etc. Foreign funded NGOs, including Mugisha’s, lobbied the US & the West to pressurize Uganda into dropping the proposed legislation & supporting LGBTQ rights. For years, the government’s response was “this matter wasn’t a priority for Uganda & the country had other more serious developmental challenges.” The US govt & media in particular, openly challenged Uganda for years at every opportunity. Some will recall when Christian Amanpour, still at CNN at the time, made LGBTQ rights her standard talking point with African leaders, including Uganda’s President. Pres Obama’s even threatened Uganda with aid withdrawal over it. What we see now, is in part a spectacular backlash to Western pressure, in particular to relentless US attempts at exporting its ‘culture war’ into Ugandan & generally African politics, society & culture. Despite my own critiques of the draft legislation, even I have to admit that the proposed legislation is wildly popular in Uganda & enjoys over 80% popular support.

Your implication that ‘homosexuality’ amongst Africans only happened because of contact with Europeans is simply preposterous, has no basis in history or reality & further exposes the paucity of your non argument. I grew up in an African village. There was always that odd person or a couple we knew were not quite like the rest of us. These were typically guys who were very feminine or ladies who were too musculine relative to the standard of the time. It was only much later when we became adults that we understood what it was & only when we went to the cities that we started seeing same sex relationships. It was nonetheless something that remained unspoken in our culture. This is therefore nothing new in that sense. That’s why we have indigenous African names for such people. That’s what I’m talking about when referring to ‘homosexuals’. The rest of the alphabet soup is a modern phenomenon.

It’s not their belief and culture. It’s the legacy of European beliefs and culture. Homophobia was introduced in Uganda by the British government when they colonised the region. The campaign was specifically led by Lord Lugard. American Republicans and Conservatives further amplified this British legacy and entrenched their toxic sensibilities into the national culture. One of the country’s earliest monarchs, Mwanga II, was a known bisexual who regularly had romantic affairs with men in his coterie. The British didn’t care about his homosexuality, they only used it as a tool to undermine his monarchy and image, to depose him. They only wanted the natural resources of the country and he was anti-imperialist, refused them access to looting the country. After the coup they launched against his Kingdom, he fled the country. They took over, installed his brother (a recent Muslim convert) and passed legislation to criminalise homosexuality. It was a very accepting society that that was radicalised with racist and Eurocentric belief systems, that went against their cultural norms. It’s the same throughout Africa and it was done through the introduction of Islam and Christianity, through Arab and European colonialism. This is the legacy of Arab/European colonialism, most Kingdoms in Africa had a fluid gender and sexual spectrum - including in their deities. Some African religions had patron saints for homosexuals - you don’t find this in Europe.

When I challenge Christian Conservative abuse of their different neighbors, they respond by claiming it is their sincerely held religious belief that when Jesus commanded them to love their neighbors or to love their enemies, he was not suggesting that they should tolerate, respect, or love neighbors whom they find to be objectionably different. Christian Conservative claim it is perfectly consistent with Jesus’ concept of loving their neighbor if they disparage, discriminate, negatively stereotype, scapegoat, dehumanize, demonize, harass, abuse, ostracize, shun, oppress, and/or by other malicious means do everything in their power to damage the lives of people whom they have determined to be objectionably different. When I challenge Christian Conservative ethical-moral bankruptcy by saying, "We must not subject people who are different to the kind of malevolent treatment that we ourselves do not wish to be subjected to," they respond by saying, "That subjective man-made ethic is not Biblical and they only accept what the Bible says." When I challenge Christian Conservative hypocrisy by saying, "We must demand of ourselves adherence to the same ethical standards of integrity that we demand of others," they always run away saying, "Don't ever contact me again." This is just one of the many reasons why I am not a Christian Conservative. My life can be taken from me, but my integrity? Never. What about you?

Thank you, Amy for reporting 👍👍👍
I believe that, as a gay man Amy's age who also donated to Bernie Sanders' campaign, I need to provide a little clarification regarding Amy's statement: "according to the ACLU, there have been 419 anti-LGBT laws introduced in the United States in just this year alone." I am not sure what the ACLU means by that claim or why Amy tied that claim to the Ugandan situation, which clearly seem far more draconian than anything that seems to have been proposed in the U.S. Were the "419" sprinkled throughout various levels of government (e.g., Congress, state legislatures, even counties and cities)? Also, since most sitting members of any governmental body can "propose" legislation, it is important to know how many of them passed. In addition, how do the ACLU and Amy define "anti-LGBT"? Some proposed laws, in conservative states, that are cavalierly called "anti-LGBT" by the corporate media really aren't anti-LGBT at all; they merely place reasonable restrictions (in my mind) on Mengele-like hormonal treatment (euphemistically termed "gender-affirming") on children and what can be said (if anything) about sex to very young children. This is in no way similar to what seems to be happening in Uganda and other African countries. We progressives need to be VERY careful about broad generalizations about the LGBTQ community. The community's crowned spokespeople were not elected by the LGBTQ community but were, instead, crowned by the media or some other Establishment entity. There ARE many dissenting voices within the community that will never be heard, that are permanently silenced and writhing in frustration. Now, a word about trans kids. No kid who is ten, eleven, or twelve can possibly know what it "feels like" to be another gender inside. This message is being fed to them by adults. In fact, the whole idea that anyone can know what it "feels like" to be anyone else inside is a logical impossibility. Peoples' sexual identities ARE unique. All a kid CAN know is what he/she likes, doesn't like, and to whom he/she is attracted. The conclusion drawn from that is drawn by the superimposition of limited cultural definitions of "male" and "female" onto the child. Growing up, I liked art and threw a baseball "like a girl," as they say. In today's environment, adults probably would have manipulated me into consenting to hormone blockers and female hormones so that, by the time I turned 18, I would be so far gone that I'd figure I had no choice but to go all the way. And that probably would have meant a lifetime of expensive maintenance and, possibly, suicide. These treatments are crimes against humanity, crimes against children, crimes against gays, and crimes against any child whose parents wished the child were the opposite sex. And no one should DARE call ME "anti-LGBTQ" or a hater simply because I don't, and will never, conform to what our so-called community leaders/spokespeople say the requirement is.

Let's face facts. Fighting for Lesbian-gay- Bisexual (LGB) rights in Africa might see some success. But Trans, Queer + (TQ+) rights would just be too much at this time for Africans, Arabs, Latinos, and Asians, etc to accept. It took years for western countries to get to where they are now. Do not expect Africans and others to go along as soon as the west recognizes the rights of a new group. Leaders of non-western countries cannot be expected to embrace the west's views and beliefs, completely ignoring centuries old traditions, sentiments, and beliefs of the majority of their population.

Actually no that's super simplistic. For example, the countries with harsh punishments for LGBT folks in Africa are former British colonies and there are democracies where being gay is criminalized and where some democracies are backsliding on LGBT rights. Angola a former portuguese colony and is authoritarian just voted to give LGBT people rights and one of the biggest pop stars in a Trans women Titica. It's more complicated than Democracy v. Authoritarianism. Also LGBT laws across the world are being supported by American Evangelical churches

@@xr2kid Is Angola really your shining example? They finally, just 2 years ago, decriminalized same sex activity. Angolans no longer go to a prison labor camp for 3 years for having gay sex. Progress of a sort, I suppose. At least they’re not thrown off building tops. But they are still a second class citizen because gay marriage is still not recognized. Freedom House rates people’s access to political rights and civil liberties in 210 countries and territories through its annual Freedom in the World report. It scores Angola in the lowest ‘Not Free’ category. Go look at any countries of the 80 countries that still don’t have electoral democracy (like China, Russia, North Korea, Iran) and you’ll find they usually also lack strong individual rights and rights and protections.

How do you promote LGBTQ yet you are silent and economic inequality? How about you start to promote equality in accessing food, housing education and quality health care. This is the best law Museveni has signed.
USA is telling Africa what to do with their laws, there are other countries that have way more extreme laws where it comes to LGBTQ, so why aren't they telling Saudi Arabia, China, or Russia what to do. I don't agree with the killing of people that are same sex, or even jailing them, but maybe not letting them marry legally or adopt children. In the United States this group of people have practically taken over, so I can see Uganda's concern.
