Ugandan Gays Arrested, Blackmailed

Tue, May 5, 2009 by AKA William

The homophobia in Uganda is worsening. I’ve written about the gay witchhunts and the calls for governmental anti-gay crackdowns. Now, Box Turtle Bulletin is reporting that situation is worsening:

We now have media reports of one gay couple arrested in Mbale. It is believed others have been arrested and sentenced as well. We also have reported blackmail attempts, in which anti-gay activists demand money in exchange for not publicly denouncing the individual as gay.

BTB has an extensive breakdown of what’s going on in Uganda, and it’s worth spending a little bit of time checking out.
