Brother, where art thou?

Does history demonstrate diversity in the human familial model? Discuss.

Same sex civil unions are soooo medieval.

Kuchu solidarity!!!

One of the blogs i subscribe to via my feed reader is Gay Uganda. It's been especially interesting with the recent historic press conference by members of the Uganda LGBT community and subsequent counter-protest by anti-gay bigots.

Regarding the press conference:

The language of delivery was Luganda. That was an impressive strategy. We are told that we are not Ugandan. That homosexuality is not Ugandan. And as the kuchus of Uganda claimed their birthright, they did it in the mother tongue of a number of them. It was impressive. The word 'abasiyazi' is like a curse word at the moment. It means homosexual in Luganda/Lusoga. And they used it, bravely, repeatedly, making sure that they were not hiding in semantics. I winced the first few times. It was shocking to my socialised self. I have grown up as a product of my culture. But soon it grew normal to my ears.

Read it all here.

In his latest posts, GayUganda has shared his thoughts and feelings following in the wake of the recent events:

All kuchu, all apprehensive at the debate occurring in the country. We all agreed that the debate was necessary. But Kagaba was not staying at his home. And we were not comfortable in our beds. But the silver lining on the cloud, the gold heart of it all, is the fact that my dad knows, and has known for some time that I am homosexual. He had not said anything about it to me, but he felt it necessary to come warn me about possible police arrest. Sweet. Time soon to find out how thick blood is. I love my family!!!!!!

His struggle is my struggle, your struggle, OUR struggle.

Virtually demented

Not surprising to those who know me...now where's my towel?!?
