The LGBT+ community woke up to the saddening news of the attack and assault of a transgender woman. It is alleged that she was lured by a woman she had been talking to for two months pretending to be her friend. First respondents say this woman lured her into a friendly meet up where there were goons waiting for her. She was raped, assaulted and dumped at the junction leading to the shelter she resides unconscious.

Fortunately someone recognized her and called the shelter administrator who rushed her to hospital where she is receiving treatment. Sadly, she is still in critical condition.

This is what happens when mainstream media fuels homophobia by accepting to be used by propagandists to spread false information against LGBTQ+ Ugandans.
