Uganda is notoriously homophobic and religious. Historically, same-sex relations existed in the country before the coming of Europeans. Christianity and Islam led to the homophobia that permeates and dominates Uganda's economic, social, and political landscape to date. Time may gradually obliterate this homophobia; but strategic litigation, advocacy, and activism should also be intentionally employed to restore dignity to LGBTQI+ persons in Uganda
