LGBT history in Uganda
Uganda has a long and, until relatively recently, quite permissive LGBT history. During precolonial times, the “mudoko dako,” or effeminate males among the Langi of northern Uganda were treated as women and could marry men. Religious roles for cross-dressing men (homosexual priests) were historically found among the Bunyoro people. The Teso people also acknowledged a category of men who dressed as women.〔Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, ''Encyclopedia of Africa, Volume 2'' OUP, USA, 2010〕
In Buganda, one of the largest traditional kingdoms in Uganda, certain forms of same-sex relations were institutionalised. Young men served in the royal courts and provided sexual services for visitors and elites. It was an open secret that Kabaka (king) Mwanga II, who ruled in the latter half of the 19th century, was gay.Homosexuality in Uganda was criminalized in 1902.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where is it illegal to be gay? )〕
In February 2014, president Yoweri Museveni signed a new law, the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014, which provided for tougher penalties for gay people including criminalizing people who did not report them.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signs anti-gay bill )〕 The new law also covered lesbians for the first time. However, on 1 August 2014, the Constitutional Court of Uganda ruled the new law invalid.
