Uganda Pride 2013: So far, so peaceful
UGANDA PRIDE 2013
The second-ever Uganda Pride celebrations are under way this week.
Last summer, the first one ended with a police raid.
This year, so far so good.
The parade is scheduled for tomorrow, Aug. 3, with Bishop Christopher Senyonjo as grand marshal.
Uganda Pride has also included showings of the movies “God Loves Uganda” and “Call Me Kuchu.”

Great to be able to pass on some good LGBT news from Uganda. 🙂
These people are really brave, I admire then. This country is full of hate for gays and lesbians. I’m working in a NGO Hospital and they reject my working visa because two years ago I signed a petition against death penalty for gays in Uganda. We keep fighting. Congrats!
