Fighting for LGBTI Equality

http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/discrimination/pages.aspx?id=87 - Born and raised in Uganda, Julius Kaggwa is an advocate for the human rights of sexual minorities in Uganda and throughout Africa. He is a leader in the Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law and directs the Support Initiative for People with Atypical Sex Development (SIPD).

Kaggwa has led the fight against a draconian anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda that aims to make engaging in any homosexual act a crime—in some cases punishable by death. Kaggwa also works to create a more tolerant environment for sexual minorities and their supporters in Uganda. Kaggwa has been harassed and threatened because of his work, but he continues to fight for human rights, playing an increasingly public role despite the danger he faces daily.

@logofreetv So when did your dad sodomize your ass and rip you a new one?

This video perpetuates the lie that homosexuality is identity.  Rubbish. Humans are male or female and homosexuality is clearly against nature. It staggers me that someone - anyone - can equate the wrongful and clearly improper use of human sexuality as if it it needed to be a 'human right'. What is "less than human" is to engage in behaviour that demeans your dignity. As for the Ugandan law - what is NOT mentioned in this video is that the law was mostly about crimes against children.

You're so brave! I really admire your guts to stand up when you know that your country is wrong and that everyone will be angry at you. Thank you so much for dedicating your life to a just cause.
