Two women have been arrested and detained in Uganda after allegedly kissing in public, an act of “same-sex activity” which can lead to a life sentence in the east African country.
Hey you guyyyyyyyyyyyyyys
Guess who HEAVILY influenced the anti-LGBTQ+ movement in Uganda? Who met up with the leaders’ wife before the law passed?
Lemme guess the word “family” or “values” appears in the name or is the whole name. Nothing says wholesome family values like state sanctioned murder.
All I can say: boycott Uganda as long as their president keeps opressing minorities.
It’s a short step from opressing sexual minorities to opressing religious minorities. From there to ethnic minorities: just a small step. From there to repressing policical opposition: another small step. From there to something incredibly harmful to the whole people: just a small step.
Honest question - what does boycotting Uganda look like? As an American who doesn’t dabble in internationall trade, are even ways I could be doing business with Uganda?
Some of their major exports are coffee, cocoa, and gold, oil, sugar, beans, vanilla, tea and fish products.
Other than maybe some brands of coffee, you won’t be able to source any of this stuff, when talking international exports like this, these are goods going directly to manufactures all over the world for packaging and processing and reselling. It’s just something that sounds good on paper, but in reality I doubt there are any vanilla extract factory CEO’s reading Lemmy right now and suddenly standing up in their chair in shock.
boycott Uganda
I’ll stop going there immediately.
boycott Uganda
What are they even making?
One of Uganda’s main sources of foreign revenue would be coffee.
I already don’t drink coffee :(
Cute little hilariously bad movies.
COMMANDO!!!
Apparently they don’t know da wae.
