"Imagine walking into any major commercial bank, opening a checking or savings account, and then days later being told that your account has been frozen. And oh, by the way, since you're gay and you work for a gay organization, our bank has a problem with you, and you will not be getting your paychecks deposited into that account.
An unlikely scenario? For most people in the West, yes, but that's exactly what Juliet Victor Mukasa, a female-to-male transgender activist, says happened to him at a Kampala, Uganda, bank in March."
