“Lokodo is now the subject of court case brought by lawyers and activists who say he violated the right of Ugandans to assemble when he had police break up a gay meeting in February.”

That’s a more plausible explanation for this awkward attempt at changing his tone towards LGBTI activists than “The AP claims to have spoken with an un-named official who says that Lokodo was told to tone things down.”

If only the Ugandan and mainstream Western media were so insightful.
