Subscribe: Blog: Gay Uganda
An often poetic blog roll updated by a Ugandan activist, often vocal on queer rights, living and working in Kampala.
Excerpt:
“…Sometimes a poem flows out, and like an egg drops fully formed. One may doubt the beauty, and feel the form incomplete. But the message, that message. Though not well wrapped, in the best sounding words. Though not prettily presented with fork and spoon. Though it invites you to use your hands messily. That message pulls at your heart. This poem did, coming out like the egg this morning. And I felt I would share it with you all…Gay in Uganda, is prisoner in prison, though freedom I’ve tasted and known, not of the body, but the mind.”
