ATTN Archbishop Henry Orombi & President Museveni: ¨The Ugandan Government and the so-called U.S Evangelicals must take responsibility for David’s blood!¨ Part Two

David Kato Kisule, Human Rights Defender, Uganda, Murdered

“David’s death is a result of the hatred planted in Uganda by U.S Evangelicals in 2009. The Ugandan Government and the so-called U.S Evangelicals must take responsibility for David’s blood!”  HERE

¨David was apparently killed in his home, by a person or persons unknown. Yes, there is a suspect, or suspects. Problem with investigations in Uganda is the fact that what is not verified will always remain in the realms of conjecture.

The worldwide LGBT community is reeling over the loss of a fearless leader.

What remains is that we have lost one of our most prominent firebrands. Indeed, he was on the front page of the RollingStone with Heterosexual Bishop Ssenyonjo (excommunicated by Archbishop Orombi for ministering to suicidal LGBTI Ugandan outcasts)  HERE Remember, the one with the caption to 'Hang Them'. And yes, he was one of the three who sued the Rolling Stone (not U.S. publication), and won.¨

Kato David Kisule. RIP

Death of David Kato (pictured center), LGBT activist in Uganda

¨We are deeply saddened by the murder of David Kato Kisule, yesterday 26 January in Kampala, Uganda. David was a lifelong human rights defender; he will be remembered for his outstandingly brave defense of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people’s human rights in Uganda. Our condolences go to David’s family and friends.


As Sexual Minorities Uganda’s Advocacy Officer, David had come to the European Parliament on several occasions to expose the plight of LGBT people in Uganda, notably in the wake of David Bahati’s ‘Anti-Homosexuality Bill’ (sic). Following the publication of lists of presumed homosexual Ugandans by tabloid Rolling Stone, and subsequent attacks on LGBT activists, David bravely faced the Rolling Stone editors in a lawsuit, obtaining the condemnation of the paper and a strong High Court judgement on the universal right to life and dignity.¨ read it all HERE

David Kato, Ugandan Gay Hero and Martyr

“Kato” Means the Eldest of Twins

¨That’s one thing I learned in a facebook message this morning, and it forms a part of GayUganda’s reaction today to the news that Ugandan LGBT activist David Kato was brutally murdered in his home yesterday. He writes:



We need to celebrate his life. Maybe that will take our minds off the desperate vulnerability of ours…. how quickly, how easily we can lose all, in the name of nothing, or something.But, it is a matter of fact that he lived his life. And, was happy. A gay man in Uganda.

…Maybe for the days when he was still alive to pester us with his demands, his beliefs in what he wanted to have done. He was a doer, and, in a difficult environment, he was an achiever. With scanty resources, he did what he could, and did it fairly well.


Of course he was a human being. Cantankerous, devious, quarrelsome.


But, he was a human being, a fighter, going to the police cells to look for those accused of being gay. Going to court to stand up for our rights.

Kato David Kisule. RIP.

Wonder where his twin is. ¨ by Jim Burroway, HERE
