Someone asked me: What do I benefit from sharing my gay life all over my platforms? Here's my answer in the thread below:

I am already criminalised, my existence as a Gay Ugandan is criminal. So, there is nothing you can intimadate me with anymore. Before you imprison me for life or even kill me, the fight for my rights as a gay Ugandan is the language I speak.

I am Gay, I was born Gay, I love Gay, and I am not Gay for financial benefits, I work for every single coin that sustains me, I am responsible, and I am human as you are. Gay is never a way to earn money. I am a hustler as you are.

Whose are we?
Our country has normalized hostility, torture, arrests,
Homophobia, hate speech, religious hate, and inhumane tests.
This normalization has led to the perception that we,
LGBTQ+ people, are undeserving of life, and thus, not free.
