When Frank Mugisha came out two decades ago as a gay in Uganda, it could be lonely and uncomfortable but rarely a matter of life and death.
Since then, Mugisha now the country's most prominent LGBTQ rights activist, the perils have multiplied. In 2011, his friend and colleague David Kato was bludgeoned to death. In addition, Mugisha regularly receives death threats.
