Uganda recently introduced one of the harshest LGBTQ laws in the world, including the death penalty for “serial offenders” and those who transmit HIV through same-sex relations. President Joe Biden and human rights groups, including the UN, have condemned the law’s violations of universal human rights. It is believed that American Evangelism, promoting anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion agendas, has played a crucial role in spreading homophobia in Uganda. American evangelicals were able to position themselves as “liberators” by targeting Christian “family values” in Uganda, a Christian-majority country. African campaigners strongly disagree with the denial by some American organizations that they impacted Uganda’s anti-homosexuality bill, considering it a political movement by the Christian right to export their own values. Legal challenges and petitions challenging the constitutionality of the law have been filed. Despite institutionalized homophobia, people in Uganda remain hopeful that they will one day walk with pride in Kampala’s streets, and politicians will be on the wrong side of history.
