Elisha Mukisa’s Facebook page is typical of Uganda’s so-called ‘ex-gay’ campaigners.
There are fervent denouncements of Ugandan LGBTIQ organisations. There are lists purporting to ‘out’ homosexuals and their allies. There is praise for the Ugandan politicians behind the passing of the 2023 Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA) – many of whom Mukisa claims to have worked with.
Less typical is a two-month pause in the posts, beginning in August. The gap is the only indicator of the period Mukisa spent in prison while awaiting trial for the offence of “homosexuality” – under the same law he worked to help pass.
