(Uganda) - The daily newspaper Red Pepper in the Ugandan capital of Kampala has published another installment of its hate-filled expose of alleged same-sexers, this time describing in detail 14 supposed Lesbians and eight more Gay men. This latest Red Pepper outing series has come in response to the first-ever press conference on August 17 by Uganda's LGBT coalition, SMUG, or Sexual Minorities Uganda, to launch its "Let Us Live In Peace" campaign for tolerance of Gay people. The climate of terror in Uganda is so great that several of the SMUG activists wore masks at the press conference to protect their identities.
