Recorded in June 2023, Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley catch up with Dr. Frank Mugisha, a leading Ugandan advocate at the forefront of the fight against the country’s persecution of the LGBTQ+ community. After the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill became law in Uganda, Frank explains the direct threats to the safety of the LGBTQ+ Ugandans and their supporters. He points to the outsize funding and influence of Western, particularly North American, right-wing Christian evangelists. The conversation serves, not only as an insight into the growing anti-rights movement that targets women’s as well as LGBTQ+ rights, but also a call to action to other pro-rights African leaders to stand up and be counted. How can the end of AIDS be achieved by 2030, if disproportionately affected communities are persecuted and driven underground?
