Fighting Fear Community

Gilbet Kagarura an LGBTQ and Human rights activist talks about how LGBTQIA+ rights are being diminished further and further legally across East Africa with Anti-LGBTQIA+ laws being put into place in Uganda in 2023, Kenya already has them and Tanzania is highly conservative to its LGBTQIA+ population also. As we celebrate Pride across the world, let's not forget the struggles of people else where. Remember them in your activities and celebrations and advocate, support and inform others about the struggles of our less liberated Queer friends around the world. Gilbert is one of many Human Rights activists we support at Fighting Fear. Watch and share his message to amplify his voice and the voices of many like him who are not able to celebrate Pride as you do. #lgbtqia #queerhealth #queer #lgbtq #pride #pride2024 #queerafrica #queeruganda #queerkenya #queertanzania #humanrights #queerrights  https://lnkd.in/eP8k84dG
