FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) is Non Partisan
We are a Network of LGBTI Human Rights Organizations
In reference to the article published in the Associated Press and The New York Times on
January 7, 2010 ‘Uganda President Urges Softening of Anti-gay Bill’
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/01/07/world/AP-AF-Uganda-Gay-Death-
Penalty.html?_r=3,
We would like to state categorically straight that Sexual MinoritiesUganda is an advocacy network of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights
organisations in Uganda. Since 2004, SMUG has worked on human rights in the areas of
sexual orientation and sexual health rights advocacy.
Sexual Minorities Uganda is non-partisan. As a network we do not have any political
affiliation. However, there are individuals who may support a party of their choice and are
free to exercise their right to vote.
We reiterate that the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009 is inherently discriminatory. Our position
and recommendation as Sexual Minorities Uganda is that the Anti-Homosexuality Bill should
be withdrawn in its entirety and that same sex relationships between consenting adults
should be decriminalized.

Most people have the luxury of taking gender for granted; but for more and more people whose gender either challenges them or challenges others, gender is a wellspring of thought-provoking experience. The reflections on the experience of gender contained in this book will enrich readers’ understanding and deepen their awareness of the kind of very human quest that transgender people and those who love them have been undertaking for centuries.”
