Election season is here, and like clockwork, Ugandan politicians have dusted off their favorite campaign strategy: screaming about the gays. It’s so predictable you could set your watch by it.

LOVE WON AGAIN — EVEN AS RIGHTS FALL In a world increasingly defined by the rollback of hard-won freedoms, a quiet but powerful victory for equality emerged this week from the United States.

Look, I get it. You hear “2026 elections” and your immediate response is to check your savings account, stock up on airtime before the inevitable internet shutdown, and mentally prepare for another season of politicians competing for who can say the most unhinged things about gay people on NBS.
