Ugandan LGBT Advocate Murdered

The American Christianists who have inspired and supported the anti-gay jihad in Uganda have more blood on their hands as reports confirm that Ugandan LGBT advocate David Kato Kisulle was murdered in his home in Kampala. Kato had been one of the Ugandan gays targeted in a September issue of the Ugandan rag Rolling Stone (no affiliation with the USA Rolling Stone) which sought to incite violence against LGBT individuals in Uganda. Kato's photo was prominently featured on the front page of the publication. Scott Lively, Barack Obama's BFF Rick Warren, and other American Christo-fascists have donated time and large amounts of money to help fuel the growing anti-gay up swell in East Africa and these individuals, in my view, are nothing more than the equivalent of terrorists who are advocating genocide. The U. S. government needs to stop this export of hatred and bigotry to less developed nations where ignorance and lack of education makes the populace an easy target for these typically self-promoting hate merchants. Here are highlights from Box Turtle Bulletin's coverage on the murder:

We have learned that Ugandan LGBT advocate David Kato Kisulle was murdered today at his home in Kampala. Frank Mugisha of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) has confirmed *that the David’s body was identified at a hospital.

Witnesses told police that a man entered Kato’s home in Mukono at around 1 p.m. on January 26, 2011, hit him twice in the head and departed in a vehicle. Kato died on his way to Kawolo hospital. Police told Kato’s lawyer that they had the registration number of the vehicle and were looking for it.

David Kato was a spokesperson for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) and one of the plaintiffs (or applicants) in the successful lawsuit seeking a permanent injunction against the Ugandan tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to the U.S. publication of the same name). Kato was one of three applicants who had been named by the tabloid under a headline tagged “Hang Them!” His photo appeared on the tabloid’s front cover.

This horrendous murder adds to the fears that LGBT Ugandans regularly face over their safety. Brenda Namigadde, a lesbian asylum seeker in the U.K. has been threatened with deportation back to Uganda. Just yesterday, she received an ominous message from M.P. David Bahati, the author of the infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill, in which he said that Brenda must “repent or reform” when she returns home: Brenda is welcome in Uganda if she will abandon or repent her behaviour. Here in Uganda, homosexuality is not a human right. It is behaviour that is learned and it can be unlearned. We wouldn’t want Brenda to be painting a wrong picture of Uganda, that we are harassing homosexuals. M.P. Bahati may be technically correct. They are simply killing homosexuals, not harassing them.
