Uganda is not progressive... update
in my last post i refferred to Uganda as a "progressive" society. i assumed that a securalist attitude towards AIDS was indictive of a progressive libertarian society - turns out its not.The ugandan parliament have enacted a new anti-homosexual law and with this the Ugandan police yesterday stormed the house of lesbian activist, Victor Julie Mukassa.
Victor is an incredible woman who has spent her adult life fighting for gay and lesbian rights in Uganda and Africa against all odds. She has been harassed by government officials, police and homophobic citizens and has paid the price of being "out" in Africa by loosing out to friends and family.
Victor was supposed to have met with Amnesty International and her lawyer today who had advised her to report to the police.
