Linda from Uganda, working on the frontlines against some of the most bizarre yet deadly anti-LGBT+ legislation in the world, has a stark warning for British LGBT+ people. Some of the funding for African hate groups is coming from fundamentalist religionists in the UK. Linda is spearheading a fundraising drive by All Out, an internet based campaigning network. She writes "Anti-LGBT+ movements in Africa are not just news stories; they are real threats to our lives.
These movements are crafted, supported, and funded by far-right groups from the United States, the UK, and beyond. They are determined to criminalise our very existence, putting me and my LGBT+ siblings in grave danger. This is no accident but a coordinated, well-funded effort to export hate, manipulate decision-makers, and strip away the freedoms of people like me. These groups are devastating our communities. That's why I'm reaching out to you today, as we launch a new campaign dedicated to uncovering the hidden agendas and financial streams that enable this anti-LGBT+ hate. As All Out’s campaign manager based in Kenya, I'm on the front lines of this battle, witnessing the consequences of these hateful movements firsthand. The fear and oppression we face daily fuel my commitment to fight back, but I can't do it without you.
