Gay rights activist Frank Mugisha said more than 100 LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex] people tried to participate in the celebrations near Lake Victoria.
But many were escorted by police back to Kampala in minibuses.
The minister for ethics and integrity had threatened to mobilize mobs to attack participants. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda.
After being blocked from entering a popular resort, several dozen participants moved on to another resort but were kicked out by officers.
This is the second time the LGBTI [lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex] community has tried to hold gay pride celebrations in Uganda this year. In August, the authorities broke up a beauty pageant and arrested activists.
however, local media reports from Kampala state that it is unclear why this event was targeted whereas over the past four years celebrations have been held without much notice from the police.
In 2014 a bill to further criminalize homosexuality was overturned in court.
They even still have mind to come out to protest???… where do they think they are in? AMERICA?
