The rise of the anti/LGBT crusaders -- Myth of a Ugandan sexuality and gender identity -- Legislating and policing morality over the years -- The Uganda church and homosexuality -- The General's impunity and the politicization of sexuality -- From the closet to a Kuchu identity -- Unraveling of the anti-homosexuality law.
Summary:
"In 1999, with approval of sections of Uganda's clergy (and support of U.S. evangelicals) harsh morality laws were passed against pornography and homosexual acts. The author weaves together a series of vignettes and anecdotes that trace the development of Uganda's morality laws against a backdrop of Machiavellian politics, religious fundamentalism and the human rights struggle of LGBT Ugandans"--Provided by publisher.
