Every post I see about chik fil a & Uganda features recipes for how to make their food yourself & very enthusiastic comments about that but like. I’ve yet to see one with resources on how to help Uganda’s LGBT+ people. I’m sure there’s more, I’m extremely tired but I went looking a bit & here’s what I found
Donate to SMUG (Sexual Minorities Uganda)
Donate to this vocational program training impoverished LGBT+ ppl in Uganda and providing them with internships (at $1,737/$5,000 as of 11/29/21 and they’ve been working on this for nearly a year)
Please feel free to add more

This weekend, activists in Uganda - a country where homosexuality is punishable by death - held their first Pride.
This is the epitome of courage. I have no other words.
Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act: ‘Null and Void’
In a victory activists were unsure they’d get, Uganda’s Constitutional Court overturned the country’s draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act today, declaring the anti-LGBT law “null and void” because of a parliamentary technicality in how it was passed.
The court determined that when members of Parliament passed the law in December 2013, Speaker Rebecca Kadaga had not established quorum — a required minimum number of members present to vote — effectively invalidating the law.
And now for some good news.
