Ugandan leader talks about LGBT oppression, David Kato
The Ellen Stone Belic Institute for the Study of Women and Gender in the Art and Media hosted a presentation and conversation addressing LGBT activist efforts in Uganda as well as the current state of the country's LGBT rights. The presentation, held on Jan. 31 at Columbia College, fell just days after the brutal murder of David Kato, one of few openly gay activists in Uganda. Kato served as the litigation and advocacy officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda SMUG, an underground effort to restore basic human rights for the LGBT community in Uganda, a country notorious for its inhumane treatment of LGBT people.
