Thank for pushing on this blog. I admire Katherine for what she has done for us.I am a gay man living in the U.K who left Uganda 8 year ago for the backward, ignorant, self rightous and so-called Christian Country. You cannot imagine the hypocrisy that hovers around the people in this country.When I left, I was highly placed in the Catholic church but I could not take the hypocrisy any more, packed in my job when a very good promotion was days a way because I could not continue to live a lie.Am happy that someone else has the guts to do this for us.THANKS VERY MUCH GUYS.

Der britische Guardian berichtete weiterhin, dass auch der Minister für Ethik und Rechtschaffenheit an der Demonstration gegen Schwule und Lesben teilgenommen habe und damit eine Verschärfung der Anti-Homosexualitätsgesetze unterstützte. Mehrere Demonstranten hatten die Ausweisung der jungen Journalistin gefordert; der Herausgeber des Daily Monitor, Aga Khan jedoch unterstütze sie und betonte die Unparteilichkeit ihres Berichts. Beim Verfassen dieses Artikels war der Text jedoch nicht mehr aufzufinden.
