Uganda's LGBTQ Community Faces Renewed Persecution with Harsh Anti-Gay Laws.

TL;DR Summary
Two young people have fled Uganda for neighbouring Kenya due to the country's tough new anti-gay laws. Diane was outed after people raised suspicions about her girlfriend and went through her phone. Her partner was brutally beaten, including by her own father, before they came for her and beat her too. Jeff fled to Kenya after being outed as gay. He was at a conference when his boss saw him talking to another man who was later arrested for being gay. Both Diane and Jeff agree that they want a future free of discrimination and victimisation - even if it is unlikely to be in Uganda.
