Greetings comrades from where you are watching this from.
Well, today we all know globally that the LGBTQ plus rights are being debated about in many different countries. And this has also led to many different countries to stop their pride events.
But well today, I'm just here to put out a stark reminder to all of you who are out there.
Human rights are non-negotiable.
The LGBTQ plus human rights are rights and they are human rights and they will go nowhere. We are here and we are to be here.
I want to talk about human rights.
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that everyone deserves, no matter who they are. These include the right to live freely, to live from violence, to speak your mind, to get an education, and to be treated fairly.
But in Uganda once an LGBTQI + child is discovered in school, he or she is strictly forbidden in that school and the school administrators will say that this child will recruit others into homosexuality.
We still have cases of LGBTQI +individuals being evicted by their landlords from their houses simply because they’re only males or females that are more than one living under the same roof. All these actions that affect LGBTQI + individuals in Uganda are circled with an excuse of culture, religion and how will the society see that you’re dating man and you’re a man.
And forgetting that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, says that all people are born free and equal. However, people like me who were born gay in Uganda, don’t enjoy these rights and keep on hiding what we’re in order to be safe from violence and being discriminated.
But in reality, our job as people globally is to make sure that these rights become a reality for everyone. This means that everyone needs to stand up for people like me who are treated unfairly and work together to create a world where everyone's rights are respected no matter who I love or who I am. When we protect the rights of others, we make our own communities stronger and more just.
Human rights are connected, and an injustice anywhere affects us all. By respecting and fighting for the LGBTQI + rights, we help build a better, more compassionate world. let's commit to upholding human rights for all people.
Let's work hard to ensure everyone is treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. Together, we can make a difference and create a world where justice and Equality thrive.
