Ugandan NewsPaper Publishes a List of the Country’s Top 200 Homosexuals!

The Red Pepper tabloid in Uganda, has published a list of the country’s top 200 homosexuals. Some of the people mentioned had previously not identified themselves as gay. This is coming a day after the president passed the anti-gay law. 

The list included names of prominent Ugandan gay activists such as Pepe Julian Onziema, who has repeatedly warned that the new law could spark violence. There was also a popular Ugandan hip-hop star as well as a Catholic priest. The new law punishes gay sex with up to life in prison.

In 2011, a list of prominent gays in Uganda was released by a Ugandan tabloid in which the editor asked for them to be Hanged. This unfortunately led to the  gruesome murder of one of the country’s gay right activists, David Kato.
