between-stars-and-waves: becausedragonage: watercolored-braids: sloppy: shapeandcolour: This weekend, activists in Uganda - a country where homosexuality is punishable by death - held their first Pride. This is the epitome of courage. I have no other words. this is making me tear up holy shit This makes me soo fucking proud most of us in places like Nigeria and Uganda especially northern Nigeria, the punishment by law is getting stoned to death if you show any signs of being gay. This makes me sad that Me and thousands of others can’t be themselves but still, this is so FUCKING beautiful I am proud of the people of my African continent! I just want to make it clear that the photo was taken, and the first Ugandan Pride was held, in 2012. Five years later they’re still celebrating Pride. Despite the fact that they face police raids and arrests, they’ve made this an annual event. This is heroic -- source link
