Obituary: Uganda gay activist David Kato

[spacial]

Apologies if this has appeared elsewhere. This was a brave man who deserved to be remembered.

The murdered gay Ugandan activist David Kato, 42, is remembered by friends and colleagues as loud and proud.

"He used to say that he was the first 'out' gay Ugandan," blogger GayUganda posted after he heard the news of his murder.

A school teacher, he became a prominent campaigner in recent years, especially taking on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which called for the death sentence to be imposed for some homosexual acts.
