LGBT Ugandans face backlash as parliament launches schools investigation

 |

Days after Uganda’s parliament ordered an investigation last month into the alleged promotion of homosexuality in schools, a video appeared online identifying Kampala resident Eric Ndawula as gay. Ndawula, 26, said his landlord showed him the video, which was posted by someone whose name he did not recognise. The landlord then issued him a notice of eviction, saying the building could not accommodate a gay person. “I am now a threat to the children around because I am going to recruit them into homosexuality,” Ndawula told Reuters ironically. His experience is one example of a wave of discrimination and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals since parliament announced its investigation, activists say.
