The current smear campaign by the anti-gay proponents and their agents is unfortunately starting to bear fruits at the expense of a sector of the population. There are reports of lynchings, evictions, unlawful termination of employment and a string of mental health issues. Although Uganda has never been a utopia for LGBT+ persons, the current times have just made a bad situation worse.
