The World Bank released a
statement. To dear Uganda; sorry, but our values and the values enshrined in
the Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2023 are at war. <a href="https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/national/world-bank-halts-new-loans-to-uganda-over-anti-gay-law-4330784">We
pause future aid</a>.

<p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Frankly, I am caught off guard.</span></p>

Not by the fact that the World
Bank would react like so. They are an important international institution.
Quite vulnerable to politics and activism. Of course they do have values. And
of course the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, Uganda&#8217;s beloved legislation of
death and imprisonment to the homosexual&#8230;, it is weird out there bad.

Yet, believe it or not, Ugandans
feel that they have been beset and bothered and are being set upon by the World
Bank. How dare they!!!!

I understand, on a daily basis,
that Ugandans, in Uganda, have a deep lack of understanding of who and what I
am as a kuchu. It is sort of always in the background, that they think me less
than human and evil and a demon. I hear it on radios and tvs and literally
everywhere. 
Yet, there is a part of me to which that chorus is water on a duck&#8217;s back.
Always running off, never sticking. I am kuchu, and mature enough to know that
that is no big deal.

Not so to my fellow Ugandans. 
The <a href="https://gayuganda.blogspot.com/2023/06/ugandas-anti-homosexuality-act-2023.html">Anti-Homosexuality
Act 2023</a> is taken, and I have been told again and again and again by self
righteous Ugandans, it is a measure of the Will of Ugandans in Uganda. It is
their right, and right to have me in prison for life and on death row, simply
because I am an evil homosexual.

<p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">They, fellow Ugandans, believe
that.</span></p>

And they are always supremely
surprised that the rest of the world doesn&#8217;t believe so. That the world around
actually condemns them for that act of great morality, the Anti-Homosexuality
Act 2023.

So, the President, apparently
receiving the news late, pens his frustration on good old paper with ink. Odd&#8230;,
maybe the old man hasn&#8217;t moved on to more modern means. The resulting missive
he posts on twitter, (forgive, he posts on &#8216;X&#8217;). An X post indeed. 
I haven&#8217;t read it&#8230;, I get depressed by our apparent lack of understanding of
the realities of life. All I thought was&#8230;, now, those notes will be great in a
Presidential library years and years from now! Weird reaction! 
His message, summarised, was Uganda will develop, with or without the World
Bank. Sour grapes, I think&#8230;, but, I am one of the very bad homosexuals.

&#8216;Bobi Wine&#8217; Kyaggulanyi, beleaguered
president of the biggest party in opposition, was chagrined. The World Bank
should care about Uganda&#8217;s other human rights transgressions. Not only about
the homosexual genocide inherent in the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023, Bobi Wine
whines and whinges.

<p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Weird reaction, as expected&#8230;, we
are Ugandans.</span></p>

From parliament,<a href="https://parliamentwatch.ug/news-amp-updates/anti-homosexuality-act-uganda-government-to-revise-budget-after-world-bank-finance-ban/">
a necessary re-adjustment of the budget</a>. World Bank monies were presumed&#8230;, 
Which really shows how clueless Ugandan politicos and leadership is.

I can get that Museveni was
blindsided, Archbishop Kaziimba mounted a blitzkrieg targeting parliament,
Speaker Among had her own political irons in the fire and <a href="https://gayuganda.blogspot.com/2023/06/asumani-basalirwa-of-ugandas-anti.html">poor
Asumaani Basalirwa</a> is simply a stupid pawn&#8230; 
But, once the deed was done, all of the results were predictable. An
international game of chess, and Ugandan leaders are playing strictly to the
local audience, blithely forgetting the world is NOT &#8216;Uganda the Village&#8217;.

Basalirwa is crying that it is
&#8216;unfair&#8217;, his beautiful Anti-Homosexuality Act is being taken out of context.
This naïve dude then repeats that we should rely on &#8216;The Arabs&#8217;. 
Such leaders we have. Not a clue to the realities of international economics,
finance, politics. He believes &#8216;the Arabs&#8217; will hand Uganda development aid
because he Basalirwa is a Moslem&#8230; And that is the pawn that presented the
Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda&#8217;s parliament? 
Yet, to be accurate, the members of Parliament are more than 500. To my
knowledge, only 2 seemed to have dissented from actualising the &#8216;Will of the
People&#8217;.

Besides &#8216;adjusting&#8217; the budget for
this financial year, the politicians are of course whipping up the homophobia. 
Expected. As in, who is to blame? Of course it is us, the very, very bad, evil
and demonic homosexuals. We are to blame, clearly, in the eyes of all right
thinking Ugandans.

LGBTQ+ activists have taken a
muted victory lap. 
Of course they are. And, I don&#8217;t blame us. We are very many things, but we are
not angels. Our country has written into the l<a href="https://gayuganda.blogspot.com/2023/06/homo-in-uganda-natural-life-in-prison.html">aw
of the land Life imprisonment</a> and <a href="https://gayuganda.blogspot.com/2023/06/death-to-homosexual-in-uganda.html">Death
to us</a>, simply because we are who we are. Yes, LGBTQ+ activists in Uganda
are really angry. My anger has been spilling out now and again here&#8230;, but I am
just one.

<p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yet, though they campaigned for
the World Bank to suspend the loaning, I am not a believer in our supposed
demonic super powers as kuchus; crediting their lobbying with the results is
simply an abuse of my thinking and capacity at logic.</span></p>

One would think that independent
media and newspapers in Uganda would be more discerning. But, this is Uganda.
One would be very wrong. 
On the subject of homosexuality, in Uganda, that is the National Prejudice.
Sanity is the first thing out of the window of the debate room. The rest is
fevered emotional, emotive reaction.

But&#8230;, and an important but, many
Ugandans believe that it is our lobbying that has caused the World Bank to
suspend loans. 
Clueless Ugandans. I marvel again, that &#8216;Homosexuality and Homosexuals&#8217; as we
are called, are the National Prejudice. Yank on that chain, and Ugandans bark
and predictably go into convulsions. Thinking and thought and logic are
suspended, until the haze settles.

It is &#8216;Uganda The Village&#8217;,
indeed. Our very own thinking bubble rejecting any thought to the contrary; demonic,
as in literal demon possessed we are. However free the internet is, however
open knowledge is, it has to be taken in, it has to be processed. It has to be
understood. 
And Ugandans are unable to think clearly, because the subject is Homosexuality,
our National Prejudice!

True, many Ugandans blame Kuchu
activists simply because a scapegoat is desperately needed. That is the
pragmatic politics, and we are a uniquely visible invisible scapegoat. A
predictable misstep was done by the leaders, they have to explain why a move that
they were warned from the start was quite predictable is now taking them by
surprise, indeed.

I mean, how many times were they
warned that this was going to happen? And those warning were rubbished as
&#8216;pro-homosexual&#8217;, and the righteous Speaker Among told all how we could all do
without the aid?

Yes, the mood in Uganda is queer
weird. Quite predictably so.

Disclosure; Who shall I tell? Coming Out and Disclosure in
Uganda, other Hostile environments (3)

</span><p class="Journal1"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Coming out&#8230;, when one admits to
themselves that they are kuchu, that they are other than heterosexual, the
relief, the sense of wellness and rightness which follows that self revelation
is considerable.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

I know. I have been there.

It is great. It is ongoing, and it
is empowering. Makes one feel like they have missed years and years of their
lives. You will feel empowered and euphoric. 
And you will find yourself wanting to tell your best friends, your family, significant
other people in your family. 
It is true. After a while you feel so good about yourself that you simply want
to share the good news, to have people be happy with you, to have them dance
and clap and jump with joy because you have discovered who you are. You simply
want to be happy with them. Yeah, again, I have walked that road&#8230;

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, who should you tell?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">The answer is, I don&#8217;t know.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

Our environment is extremely
hostile. Ugandans are more hostile to kuchus than <a href="https://www.afrobarometer.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AD639-Uganda-a-continental-extreme-in-rejection-of-people-in-same-sex-relationships-Afrobarometer-9may23-.pdf">most
other countries in Africa</a>.(pdf) 
Just because we live in Uganda on a day to day basis, we always forget <a href="https://gayuganda.blogspot.com/2023/07/lynching-suspected-kuchu-in-africa-how.html">the
real life dangers that are possibilities</a> simply because we are kuchu. You
cannot forget this, when you are thinking of telling someone that you are
kuchu. Doesn&#8217;t matter whether it is a close member of family, or the best of
best friends. Remember that it might be a shock of shocks to them, and their
reactions have to be considered. It is simply not good if you find yourself in
prison just because you told a best friend about your happiness on coming out.

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a<a href="https://www.afrobarometer.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AD639-Uganda-a-continental-extreme-in-rejection-of-people-in-same-sex-relationships-Afrobarometer-9may23-.pdf">
sobering quote from that report</a></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>&#8220;Findings from the most recent Afrobarometer survey show that Ugandan
adults of all ages and education levels overwhelmingly continue to express
intolerance for same-sex relationships, think they should be illegal, <i><u>and are willing to report their own
family member or close friend to the police if they engage in homosexual
activity.</u></i> Their level of intolerance for sexual difference is the
highest among 37 African countries surveyed in 2021/2022.&#8221;</b></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

It is your life. You will know who
of your significant friends, family that you can approach.

To scare you further, and indeed,
my aim is to scare you into understanding how serious the homophobia in our
country, Uganda is. Those who answered questions were asked whether they would
report us to police close acquaintances; friends, co-workers, relatives. <a href="https://www.afrobarometer.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AD639-Uganda-a-continental-extreme-in-rejection-of-people-in-same-sex-relationships-Afrobarometer-9may23-.pdf">More
than 90% of Ugandans said they would.</a>

</span><p class="Journal1" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>&#8220;<u>more than nine out of 10
respondents (94%-95%) said they would report relatives &#8211; including their
siblings and children</u> &#8211; as well as close friends and co-workers to the
police if they discovered that they were in same-sex relationships&#8221;</i></b></span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, what use is the good news that
you can never share?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

And, sober fact of life, coming
out becomes better for you when you can share your new life with people around
you<a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110620094419.htm">,
who are supportive and knowledgeable</a>. Can one do that in Uganda?

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">The answer is that yes, we can.<br />
It is possible, but<b><u> you run
considerable risk.</u></b> You have to asses the risk, your risk, and only you
can do that.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

We live lives filled with the fear
and paranoia of being discovered. Our fears are justified, many times and that
is not a good thing. Yet, it is also matter of fact that we somehow negotiate a
balance in our lives. As kuchus, in homophobic Uganda. And, it is true that
there are people that we can rely on. Some real good friends. Some members of
our families. But, please, choose very carefully who you break this precious
secret to.

We all have stories&#8230;, and these
stories can help or hinder other kuchus. The most important thing for you,
kuchu, to remember, if you feel that you need to come out and disclose to some
of your significant others family and friends, is that they can be hostile. And
that hostility can turn deadly.

At the same time, coming out to
some, even if they might not like it, might cause them to think over weeks and
months, and they might be there for you. Maybe in part, maybe not. It is a real
risk, and no one can do the risk assessment for you.

Uganda, other Hostile environments (2)</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">If it is so hostile in Uganda, and
most of Africa to be homosexual, (LGBTQ+), kuchu, then why should someone &#8216;come
out&#8217;?</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

For the simplest and most
uplifting of reasons. For yourself.

You come out to yourself, because
it will do you damn great and wonderful good. This is a step that you must take
to acknowledge who and what you are. Otherwise, you keep yourself blind and
deaf and real dumb, in this life that you will not have a re-do.

Kuchu. LGBTQ+ individual. 
Understand that you literally had no say in who and what you are. Blame it on a
Creator God or anything in your spirituality, but understand the basic, you are
who you are, and had no say in who you are. Stop hiding from yourself.

You can try to run away from
yourself. 
Oh, we all have done that. Some of us are still doing that. We are running, and
running, and running, as fast as we can, from our selves. 
And, it is simply not possible. We are who we are. We take who we are
everywhere we go, be it our beds, our houses, our schools; even to our
marriages and into the marital beds. We go there, as who and what we are.

You owe yourself that
acknowledgment, of who you are. Understanding that the world being who and what
it is, you are still who and what you are. Stop running, and acknowledge and
know and understand yourself. 
You are different. You are kuchu. You are you. 
And you deserve to come out to yourself, more than anything on this earth. You
need to begin knowing who you are.

No. I am not telling you to tell
anyone else.

I am telling you to tell YOU that
it is truth. You are kuchu. Believe the evidence of your eyes. Accept who and
what you are. It is worth it, and you deserve to acknowledge it. You owe it, to
you. You owe yourself a coming out.

You don&#8217;t owe that understanding,
that &#8216;coming out&#8217; to anyone else. You owe it to YOU, and you alone. That should
be your single most important consideration. Treat yourself well, stop hiding
from who YOU are.

</span><p class="Journal1" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are benefits to admitting to
yourself that you are kuchu.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">

You will stop running on the
inside. You will stop hiding from yourself. You will get a boost to your mental
health. You will just be&#8230; happy. That bit more happy than you are. And that
will help you to get over this little step in your life and plan a little bit
more realistically, than having to do what others tell you to do, and do other
things because you fear being you. 
So, yes. Come out, to yourself. Take that step, in your mind. Know, admit, that
you are kuchu.

Research has actually shown that
there are mental health benefits to coming out. But, that research has been in
countries where coming out means telling people around who can support you.
That is a very tough thing in most of Africa. Though, again, knowing yourself,
stopping the denial will be a boost to you, in your life, even if you don&#8217;t
tell anyone else.

One of the things that I
definitely know happens when we accept who and what we are is that you become
more resistant to the charlatans and liars and anti-gay activists who tell us
that they can make us straight. Doesn&#8217;t matter whether they are in church, or
mosque, priest, pastor or Sheikh. They prey on your fear, and will take you
through hell and close to suicide before you break and run away from them. 
Knowing and understanding and accepting that you are kuchu is one of the single
most defences that you will have against them. The Ssempa&#8217;s of this world prey
upon our insecurities. Coming out to yourself denies them a way into your mind
to confuse you.

Of course coming out to yourself
is always a boost. We are naturally curious. After bursting that dam in your
mind, you will want to know more about who and what you are. There are quite a
few resources, online, and not. And of course there are kuchus all around you,
some of whom have had the same experiences. Now you might be more ready to engage
and listen to them.

&#8216;Coming out&#8217; to yourself is a
crucial step. But, it is only a first step, potentially opening up your mind to
the wonders and opportunities out there. You will start with baby steps. That
is absolutely fine. The pace is yours, the mind is yours, the body is yours. 
When you are no longer in &#8216;denial&#8217; of who and what you are, you are ready to
start the healing that only you can source and help happen to you.

 Coming out. 
It&#8217;s a very necessary concept, to us kuchus. First studied and defined relative
to &#8216;western&#8217; culture it still holds true for LGBTQ+ individuals everywhere on

LGBTQ+ studies have a fairly
