Summary

[edit]
Description

Two young women protesting against the criminalization of LGBT gay rights in many Commonwealth countries. The woman on the left holds a hand written sign to remind people that Yoweri Museveni, president of Uganda, is responsible for years of persecution and hate crimes against the country's gay community. In February 2014 he signed into a law an act increasing the penalties against gay people, with punishment set at life in prison for LGBT individuals who continue to commit the "offence of homosexuality".

On 19 April 2018 LGBT protesters gathered in London to protest the refusal of the Commonwealth Conference to deal with the issue of laws across most member countries criminalizing gay rights. According to human rights activist Peter Tatchell, half of all such countries in the world are in the Commonwealth.
