Ugandan LGBTQ+ shelter home raided and evicted again today

Grace Stone, one of our Voices of Solidarity artists, runs a shelter for homeless LGBTQ youth and was again raided and evicted from the property. He's part of our official WorldPride 2025 Partner Event, OUR PRIDE Shorts & Arts Fest. With USAID funding cuts and fear rising recently in Uganda, Grace is responding with love and resistance. He's been planning to stage the play "Every Brilliant Thing" by Duncan Macmillan in order to spark hope and conversations about mental health -- while running this rural LGBT shelter offering food, beddings, and safety.Details & GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/.../support-lived-realities...Across Uganda, LGBTQ+ individuals face growing insecurity--ranging from arrests, violent attacks, forced evictions, and media outings. This has worsened under the Anti-Homosexuality Act, which legalizes discrimination and fuels public hostility. Many queer people are now homeless, hiding, or struggling with trauma and mental health crises.#lgbtq #humanrights #worldpridedc #worldpride #capitalpride #capitalpridedc #interpride This is a public episode.
