Isn’t it interesting that authoritarians always seem to be against the LBGTQ community. I used to work nights with an Ugandan man, and I got a primer on Ugandan politics. Basically, if Musaveni doesn’t like you, you get labeled a terrorist. Speak out against him? Terrorist.

Also, when Trump won, every single African I worked with said “you all can never comment on African politics again unless it’s to commiserate.”

Thanks for the detail. I doubt I'll see anything else written w/o searching .ug sources.
