I have still not been stung by the wikileaks bug, well, maybe just alittle. Still, as the stories of Assange rocked the world and wikileaks went leaking off cables, i just thought one thing " this dude and his cronies better know what they are doing".
Well, some information come in handy even though we might not like the source or how it is obtained. This may just be that kind of information. The Guardian published a story with the headlines US Cables: Uganda defends the Anti-Homosexuality bill. Read and judge for thy self here.
In other news, this is from the Washington Times. I am saddened by the turn of events after David Kato's murder especially its effect on the lives of gay Ugandans, what raises deep concern is to noting that even institutions that can defend our brethrens are distancing themselves. Last but not least the last paragraph...Prescribing treatment to convert homosexuals to heterosexual lifestyle? How do you do that?
Food for thought:
The sources mentioned are western media. No information coming forth from the home ground. There may be lack of articles from the mainstream media houses in Africa, but that does not mean that there is no news on LGBTI people. Lets learn from the recent events in Egypt, the internet is a powerful tool which when used properly can be very effective. They may not want to write about us in the papers but we can surely make them.
Sweetp.
