''Rolling Stone'' was a weekly tabloid newspaper published in Kampala, Uganda. The paper published its first issue on 23 August 2010, under the direction of 22-year-old Giles Muhame and two classmates from Kampala's Makerere University.〔("Gays in Uganda say they're living in fear" ), Godfrey Olukya & Jason Straziuso, ''MSNBC'', Associated Press〕 According to Muhame, the paper's title was derived from the local word ''enkurungu'': "It's a metaphor for something that strikes with lightning speed, that can kill someone if it is thrown at them".〔 It suspended publication in November 2010, after the High Court ruled that it had violated the fundamental rights of LGBT Ugandans by attempting to out them and calling for their deaths. The paper was small, with a circulation of approximately 2000 copies.〔 One of those listed, David Kato, was subsequently murdered. The Ugandan paper is unaffiliated with the American magazine ''Rolling Stone'', which later described the Ugandan paper's actions as "horrific" and protested its choice of name.〔("Not In Our Name: Ugandan Newspaper’s Horrific Action" ), ''Rolling Stone'', 21 October 2010〕 ==Reporting on homosexuality== On 9 October 2010, the newspaper published a front page article—titled "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos Leak"—that listed the names, addresses, and photographs of 100 homosexuals alongside a yellow banner that read "Hang Them".〔〔("Ugandan paper calls for gay people to be hanged" ), Xan Rice, guardian.co.uk, 21 October 2010〕 The paper also alleged that homosexuals aimed to "recruit" Ugandan children. This publication attracted international attention and criticism from human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International,〔("Ugandan gay rights activist: ‘I have to watch my back more than ever'" ), 5 November 2010〕 No Peace Without Justice〔("Uganda: Stop homophobic campaign launched by Rolling Stone tabloid" ), 14 October 2010, No Peace Without Justice〕 and the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association.〔("Uganda Newspaper Published Names/Photos of LGBT Activists and HRDs – Cover Says 'Hang Them'" ), International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association〕 According to gay rights activists, many Ugandans have been attacked since the publication as a result of their real or perceived sexual orientation.〔("Outcry as Ugandan paper names 'top homosexuals'" ), Simon Akam, ''The Independent'', 22 October 2010〕 One woman was reportedly almost killed when her neighbors began to stone her house. In a subsequent issue, ''Rolling Stone'' alleged a connection between Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab and Ugandan homosexuals under the headline "Homo Generals Plotted Kampala Terror Attacks", charging "a gay lobby" with complicity in the July 2010 Kampala suicide bombings.〔
