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?
You’ll never guess!

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.

Personal opinion: 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.

One of Uganda's main sources of foreign revenue would be coffee.
Companies might also want to check where their cobalt, gold, tungsten and copper comes from, since some part could be coming from Uganda. Remembering the name "Kilembe mines" and avoiding any dealing with them would put a dent in Uganda's budget.

Honest question - what does boycotting Uganda look like? As an American who doesn't dabble in international trade, are there even ways I could be doing business with Uganda?
