Despite the widespread persecution of the LGBT community in Uganda, members of the LGBT community bravely held a small pride event in celebration of IDAHOT 2016. The event saw around 300 individuals in attendance and is believed to be the largest pride event ever held in the county.
As well as a celebration of gender and sexual diversity, the event also featured talks on discrimination and stigma and the chance for members of the LGBT community and their allies to meet and discussion various issues.
