"Uganda’s Pride was a weekend-long event, made up of film screenings, a fashion show in drag, and all-night (and into the morning) parties. Two hundred and fifty tickets had been sold, though, as a vivacious trans woman named Cleo told me, fifty-some people showed up on Thursday and Friday, because many were still wary about gathering in large groups."

Wow. Brave people. Best wishes to them all.

that's awesome!

werq you fierce, flawless, fearless bitches ♥

Amazing.

It takes a great deal of courage to do what they are doing.

That's what Pride is all about.

Fuck.....they make the Stonewall folks look like pussies! I don't know if they're brave or suicidal. I just hope they're able to stay safe.

Seriously. I probably wouldn't be doing that if I lived there.

That's quite remarkable. Wow!

Wow this is incredible! A step in the right direction for humanity Stay positive.

I'm both awe struck and envious of their incredible bravery.

That's incredible. I'm surprised they got as many people to show up as they did, considering they all knew they could be putting themselves in danger. Good for them.

Very brave, strong people. They should be an inspiration to us all.

holy cow. This is amazing. I need some of their strength.

Everyone there deserves a medal. Well fucking done, guys!

Regardless of the struggles these people face, I am very proud of them. Baharti might have the Christian backing him, but this people have proven to be more resilient in their quest for equality.

Makes me wanna go to Uganda to celebrate with them.
Courageous men and women indeed.

They're all so beautiful :")

Awesome! I came out 21 years ago in rural/bigoted Arkansas, but I only faced gay bashings. They face death. They're MUCH more braver than I could ever dream of being.

Hats off to them!

woww that's cool.

We should murder their president as a reward.
