Reminder that how a faith leader speaks about LGBTQ+ people shapes how families respond, how communities treat their own and how Uganda moves forward.

Replying to @MugaluNathan
@MugaluNathan highlighted the importance of “faith for inclusion.” He emphasized that faith must bring everyone on board by being non discriminating, promoting acceptance, compassion, confidentiality and collective responsibility because the cost of inaction is too high
Faith leaders help in shaping norms & reducing stigma critical to advancing inclusive #HIV responses. This morning, @UNAIDS joined partners for a faith leaders dialogue on human dignity, rights & responsibilities for #EndAIDS2030Ug organized by @ucaauganda and @FOCAGIFO1

Uganda’s Supreme Court has postponed the hearing for the Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA) 2023 appeal originally set for tomorrow, March 31, citing "unforeseen circumstances." A new date is yet to be communicated, and the Court has directed all parties to continue the filing and exchange of necessary legal submissions as previously guided.🇺🇬🏳️‍🌈

1 March, the Zero Discrimination Day highlights promotion of inclusion, compassion, peace and, above all, a movement for change. Today calls to celebrate everyone’s right to live a full and productive life with dignity. Commemorating this day involves recognizing the specific barriers women face while celebrating the resilience it takes to overcome them. For the womxn community, this day isn't just about a "lack" of prejudice; it’s about the active pursuit of visibility, safety, and equity. it’s the intersection of gender identity, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. Today is an opportunity to say: "We are here, we are diverse, and we count." #ZeroDicsriminationday #womxnvisibility #womxnMarch

🌈🌈🌈🌈Being gay doesn't mean I was raised wrong. The only wrongdoing is your assumption that same-sex intimacy is a result of poor upbringing. The truth is, it takes courage and resilience to live authentically in the face of adversity, not poor parenting.🌈🌈🌈🌈
