“As per now most of the LGBTQI people have been evacuated from their places of stay, the reason being if they find out that you have been in that house and you are gay, another thing they do is now starting attacking you. This law as now brought, not only to LGBTQ persons but Ugandans as all not to be safe, reason being right now landlords are not safe because they may not know what may happen to them if they are hosting LGBTQ people in the country.”

“Having come under extreme backlash, what President Museveni and his government is doing is managing public fallout and by assuaging donor concerns seeking to paint a picture that all is well nobody's being targeted. The people that we speak to everyday have a different reality. They are being targeted, people are being victimized for their sexuality, organizations are being threatened with closure. So President Museveni and government officials are involving double speak.”

“We are at this point precisely because the courts ducked away from its responsibility and deciding the substantive questions of the fundamental rights and freedom of sexual minorities in Uganda. This time around the court has no excuse because there is no procedural technical arguments, the court must confront the elephant in the room whether the Ugandan constitution protects every single Ugandan including sexual minorities.”

“We are hopeful that the court will agree with us that this law is - one, vague, overly broad and leads to a violation or possible violations of fundamental rights and freedoms of sexual minorities and a host of rights: privacy, health, access to employment and all kinds of rights. Secondly, we hope that the courts will make a finding that the legislative role of parliament really is to protect and not exclude members of our community.”
