The Ugandan tabloid Rollg Stone — no relatn to the Amerin publitn — has been a leadg player anti-gay csas the east Ain natn. Horrific and upliftg, the excellent documentary Call Me Kuchu is partly amed as a portra of David Kato, Uganda's first openly gay man. The film is stctured around their legal fight agast a Ugandan anti-homosexualy bill that lled for the ath penalty for HIV-posive gays — and prison for anyone, regardls of sexual orientatn, who failed to turn anyone known to be L, G, B or T.
David Kato, a teacher and LGBT rights activist — as well as the first openly gay man Uganda — is at the foreont of Call Me Kuchu's story. We see Amerin evangelists, clearly thrilled to fd more fertile soil for anti-gay rabble-rog than they did at home, whippg up crowds to take actn agast "sodom" who would rpt their children.
