Comments on: Uganda Gays Arrested, Blackmail Attempts Reported http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/05/04/11108 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Tue, 21 May 2013 11:50:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: james kiguli http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/05/04/11108/comment-page-1#comment-83563 james kiguli Sat, 20 Nov 2010 11:43:16 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=11108#comment-83563 Hi Kikomeko, It is true the status of homosexuality in Uganda is grave. The discrimination is on the high, as you are an outcast if you publicly comeout and say your status. Besides, Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda and it is punishable by imprisonment if your partner reported you to the authorities. In one incident, I am told there was an Indian residing in Uganda who was murdered shortly after his status as a homosexual was publicly known. It is beleived that is one of the reasons why he was killed. So in all, it is really out of the law for one to come out publicly to denounce his status as a homesexual.

If the former, I wonder what they think about Vermont and Iowa. I’m curious, is Uganda one of those countries that admires the US or hates us?
