Bombastic - Grassroots Media

Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera, an openly lesbian activist in Uganda, hopes to begin social progress with the help of a new magazine called Bombastic.  The gay community in Uganda hopes to gain momentum with privately distributing issues of Bombastic to fellow Ugandans, even those leading the witch hunt against marginalized members of the Ugandan LGBTQ community. Not phased by the continuous hate being thrown her way, Nabagesera hopes to change negative perception of the community with release of Bombastic. Much praise and support must be sent to Nabagesera for fighting against such draconian laws and public perception.

Mourning: 4 Years after David Kato's Untimely Death


Four years after David Kato's murder, allies of the late hero are still harassed and persecuted. This chilling article showcases the horrific abuse that LGBT Ugandans continue to face daily. At the ceremony honoring Kato, friends and family watched in horror as the priest condemned the great activist's spirit. In Uganda where religion puts a scathing, homophobic perspective in the minds of its citizens, there must be justice for those that continue to be marginalized. Four years after Kato's unjust passing, the country has done little to progress its policies on human rights for the gay community. Sending much love and peace to the family of David Kato, and all who continue to be silenced in Uganda.
