Pride Parade in Uganda

[kesslari]

Pretty inspiring and courageous to come out of the closet as gay in a country where there is a bill in parliament to make homosexuality a death-penalty crime.

Hehe. He's a thread for nortonrider to enjoy....

Wow, pretty awesome and very gutsy of them to march. Good on them.

I don't know why some people think homosexuality is aberrant in some way. Most of the animal kingdom engages in homosexuality, what makes humans any more different?

 

[Relic]

Holy cow! More power to them, that takes a whole lot of guts!

 

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Ballsy as ****.

Awesome. I hope nothing bad happens to the participants.

 

[Kaa]

Awesome. I hope nothing bad happens to the participants.

I, sadly, think that's not going to happen.

Yeppers. A good story to remember the next time you see someone protesting about how fascist/repressive/oppressive the United States is. The U.S. is not perfect, but it's the best deal going on this planet by far.

not necessarily for gay people. I love the US but I think there are many other countries farther along than us in regards to giving gay folks a fair shake.. But yes, I know what you mean for teh most part. It kind of puts chicken sandwiches into perspective!

Not the best deal going on this planet by far but civilized... adjacent.

Well, at least your gay pride parade here probably won't be attacked by machete-toting thugs.

 

[Relic]

^true that!

 

[GregC]

That takes a lot of guts; kudos to them.

 

[line6man]

The pride parade here in San Francisco gets pretty wild.

As for me - lots. Which is why I both absolutely love my country but also wish we were farther along in some other areas. It's kind of like non-Americans assuming to know everything about the US. You never really know a country or culture until you spend time living within that culture. That applies to every nation on earth really.
IMO, of course.
