Ugandan gay activist David Kato was murdered this Wednesday at his home in Uganda's capital Kampala. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. Kato gained international attention when the Ugandan newspaper Rolling Stone published a picture of him and several others next to the words "Hang Them." In 2009, the Ugandan parliament was considering a bill that imposes the death penalty on people who are found to engage in homosexual activities. The bill was introduced after American evangelicals came to Kampala for a conference. Other Ugandan gay rights activists say Kato's death resulted, in part, from sentiments that those evangelicals brought.
