Uganda: Keeping up Appearances

As we got lost into the conversation, I looked at this alter boy and remembered how holy he looks when
at the altar, the church harbors many sinners! In my very first write up, I talked about gay saints; the
church has pretty many of them. It is therefore no sin in considering gay marriage, God has already
bought them close to his table, why chase them then! In am always humbled when I see my gay brother
Deo doing what God called him to do. What was meant to be a dinner date ended as a coming out
platform! God forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell.

Uganda: “Meet BadBlack”, The Fearless Transwoman

She has been verbally and physically attacked by the community she is meant to feel safe in but that has not taken away her zeal to effect change. Bad Black has dedicated her life as a peer educator and works hand in hand with friendly clinics to provide health services for the transwomen in Uganda.

Speaking on behalf of Uganda’s sex workers, Bad Black continuously appeals to legislators to put up laws that will protect the interest of people in her profession. These laws will protect sex workers from disrespectful clients and put in place a minimum wage for their trade.
