Ugandan artist's view of state-sponsored homophobia

The Erasing 76 Crimes blog presents works by artist Vincent Kyabayinze, who appeals for respect for the human rights of LGBTI Ugandans.

Artist Vincent Kyabayinze writes of this artwork, “In this picture LGBTI persons face state-sponsored homophobia, using government recourse. Many LGBTI persons are locked up without trial, detained under maximum sexuality because of who they are, This is common not only in Uganda but in 76 countries that criminalize LGBTI persons."

Artist Vincent Kyabayinze writes of this artwork, "Gang rape is on the increase. Gangs use social media and other social platforms to pretend to be gay, so they can get young gay men to bars, get them drunk and later violate them sexually and beat them to death. This is a warning to use social media responsibly. We must protect ourselves from blackmail and murder."
