How LGBTQ+ flee Uganda's 'Anti-Homosexuality Act' | DW News 

Don't forget that they don't only get punished for "same-sex acts", but also for only being gay. Literally, just EXISTING as a queer person is illegal...

If only Uganda could focus on their child bride situation.

Praying for lgbt Ugandans. Rights to humanity belong to everyone.

Making them silent changes nothing, they will still be gay

Precolonial Uganda literally had a queer king. King Mwanga II of Buganda was well known to be bisexual. But Africans today will talk about "tradition"... Christianity and Islam are not our original African traditions. This hatred and persecution of sexual minorities is something that was imported from the West during colonial times, and today, we have become so ignorant of our true history, that we call these imposed import religions and their associated bigotry, "tradition"... There are nations in this world exploring space, furthering the boundaries of science and technology, advancing medical science to cure disease etc, and here on the African continent, we are persecuting people for who they are attracted to, for who they fall in love with, something they can't even change about themselves, all the while, we can't even maintain a stable electrical grid, or build a proper road network, or even simply develop functioning sewage systems... Sometimes I think our continent is hopeless...

Kenya is your home.Ugandan government just want to be admired.I am a straight man but I don't advocate death or any form of harrasment to the lgbt community.

A home is a place where you are supposed to feel safe. Sad to leave your familiar environment, because of family and community persecution😢.

Hatred has no limits. It’s not just gay people. This is for all groups of people that are dehumanized and persecuted. If they can do this to one group, they can do it another. Same mechanisms, different groups. Beware.

Shame on countries like Uganda, Malaysia and Afganistan that have such draconian laws!

Can African Activists hold American Evangelists accountable for sowing divisive seeds on Ugandan people?

Poverty and still worry about gays.....waste of life...

This is tragic.

Let people live their lives 🤦‍♂️ why so harsh on people that live a different life to your own? Unless you wrong someone else shouldn’t matter what you do 🤷‍♂️

I will never support Uganda or any other country that supports hatred towards lgbt people. I'll pray for the lgbt Uganda people, they should not be made to feel unsafe in their own country, everyone deserves respect 🙏🏼🏳️‍🌈

Uganda should stop criminalizing lgbt people , they need a safe place because they are all children of God

If their sexuality doesn't affect other people then just let them be.

We shouldn't be hearing about such things in 2024. Uganda needs to focus on their issues, not someone's sexuality

This breaks my heart.😢💔

I think leaving such a country is such a blissfulness

This is very sad. 😢 Hugs to all my brothers and sisters in Uganda 🫂

I hopes the best for my brothers and sisters ❤

"The closer the collapse of an empire, the crazier its laws" - Marcus Tullius Cicero

This is against human rights

One of the reasons I now have issue with organized religion, handed down by colonizers, is that it has done so much to destroy people. To this day the colonizers still win and we sit at the bottom so something is wrong.

Death penalty?! 😮

The shadow of colonialism is indeed long.

Mind you, it's not just anyone who is gay. It's also anyone who is perceived as gay.

Very sad. Uganda is a lost cause

This is so tragic.

Wow, 4 once, I don't see any homophobic comments. Any time I see videos like this, I always see people supporting whoever is doing it. Saying America needs 2 be the same.

We live in a sad world that other ppl won’t mind their own business smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

South Africa should offer asylum to Ugandan LGBTQ people fleeing persecution.

Wow incredibly sad

These are the stories that i have been waiting to hear 🙌🏾 The anti gay big_ts have been dominating the headlines 🙄

Baby, they snitched and they called a spade a spade. Their bio family was/is seeing them as sub-human….not ‘as human as me’ This is inhumane. This is making 2024 seem like the 1960’s. Human progress is giving ‘meh’ teas. 🚶🏾‍♂️

This is an actor. Ugandans will do anything for survival. Let him go to Canada or where it is acceptable but as for Uganda a wise ruling was made. You live or die😂

a hug coming from someone in the Philippines. super hugs to my fellow LGBTIQ+ in Uganda. Its alreayd 2024 yet LGBTIQ+ people are stil being oppressed and killed for just being a human LGBTIQ+

This is Africa

U will love Uganda By force give them Asylum, Ugandan gay law is not supported by only government but the people themselves ! Not even any thing will stop 🇺🇬

Tragic moment 😢😢

What to expect from such a country? I am not surprised.

It is primarily due to AMERICAN EVANGELIST CHURCHES

Aww bless them 😢 we are so fortunate here in Europe and other parts of the world were people are equal.

Queer sounds like weird Make it make sense

3:26 what is this angle

I recognise one of dem guys. Studied with him in high school

May you find peace

Went from "Why are you gay?" to "You can't be gay." real quick.

So Sad...

What about his mother? I can't imagine being a mother and never seeing your child again. This is heartbreaking 💔

ENCOOORE ??? Mais merde !! Réglez vos problèmes sans nous !

Are they applied in Tourist too? Because if the Government includes Tourist Queer too, that's alarming.

My Champagne, I miss you!

This people Didn’t die out while feeding the hungry... they died while living a FUTILE life ... The richest king said🤴🏻 “The greatest futility!” says the congregator, The greatest futility! Everything is futile! What does a person gain from all his hard work At which he toils under the sun? The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole obligation of man" Eclesiastes 1:2 , 12:13,14

Thats a lie. No one gets beaten . Am ugandan. We are not as brutal as he says. Let him bring a video showing that his uncle beat him. This is a social media generation. If he got beaten, it would be on news and any other social media platforms. Honestly even if even if the law was passed, no one has gone through what those two are saying. One has been arrested or tortured. Its all lies!!!!!

Shame on uganda thanks dw for covering this

This breaks my soul man.

Here in Philippines. Welcome po kau

It's the government that is doing this but the Ugandan people's attitudes are to a large extent changing

generic law enabling persecution how certain could they possibly be how certain would they BOTHER being, with the legal justification to kill : ( all these guys were trying to do was have some joy amidst the difficulty of life

How unfair:(

😢

Every country has its own constitution

😢😢😢i can feel his pain.

disgraceful

Stay there in Kenya.

They are still human 🙏🏼♥️

Please report with less bias.

The German embassy should give all of them visas so they can move to Germany. Problem solved.

Energy they should spend ending poverty. Africans just punish what doesn't harm them and are weak in dealing with what actually harms them

Stop international aid until the government provide human rights to ALL of their people.

I guess I'm gonna keep staying in Narnia

Usa or uk give them asylum

documentary is exaggerated in uganda nobody minds them

Water / Air / streets /Schools/ Hospitals/ Homes are NOT SAFE. .power in wrong hands and this what happens. When Germany soldiers come AGAIN those that judging GAY people will get theirs. WTF - leave your SISTERS/ BROTHERS ALONE..TRY THAT!!!! ..SAD

Quit using "queer" to describe gay men, it's offensive

Very good ❤❤❤❤

Stay where it's safe

what's my criteria if a country's problem is important in the eyes of the west? if extremists of both sides are talking about it.

My heart aches for you my Queer family.

Ugandan flag, best toilet paper

😢🙏

In Africa not! I love this continent. Mais je suis contre la peine de mort

Blessings💜🙏….

So same sex is legal in Kenya

Yes very true not in Africa

This is just sad. I definitely understand the repercussions of celebrating this life preference of theirs I get it. But until Jesus Christ returns, there will always be someone in the family molesting the kids (I'm not saying every who is gay does this). There will always be some down low guy, down low woman. There will be someone who is genuinely confused about their identity and orientation. No one is saying don't have your laws to dissuade it *but* don't accept behavior that makes it acceptable to murder them either. Throw the one that brutalized them in jail. This is only going to get worse.

Please let them in in the west! 😢

Shocking. More should be done to help them leave country

priDEMONth

🤮😤

Sending Love to the LGBTQ+ People in Uganda 🫶🏼🏳️‍🌈🥹

God bless Uganda 🇺🇬 🙏

I’m lucky bcoz I live in the country for being gay is acceptable and even trans 🏳️‍⚧️ can live normally in our society in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Shameful how these attention seekers defame our country and 'africanicity'

Jesus is the way the truth and the life ❤

Kuzuvha kukarera yinke mukadi gara😂😂

I feel that all countries should stop trade and funding for this human rights violations… Uganda is a second rate country that needs to see the error of their ways…

Where can i send Donation to them?! ❤

He needs to come back to Uganda and be Transformed. God loves him
