David Kato was an advocate and activist for LGBT rights in Uganda. His courageous fight for human rights inspired many Human Rights activists around the globe and in Uganda. These included the Reverend Patrick Leuben Mukajanga AKA Mleuben MacCarthy, founder and executive director of Saint Paul's Voice Centre of Uganda, https://www.saintpaulsvoicecentre.org .
Rev, Patrick was a friend of David Kato's and it has a profound influence on his life. It emboldened him to be out and to stand tall for Human Rights. He was fearless and faced discrimination head on during his life and during his death. He was neglected by police during a car accident and left to pass away. This is the legacy of these leaders that they stood up and were cut down unfairly. David Kato litigated against a tabloid which had called for his death, and Rev. Patrick Leuben Mukajanga was delivering supplies to LGBT Ugandans and rushing during a curfew on roads which had been left to decline in their way, and was in a terrible accident.
It is important that we remember their bravery and their sacrifice. It is important that we carry their legacy in our work to stand tall for those at Kakuma Block 13 in Kenya. To stand against scapegoating of the Uganda LGBT community during Elections in Uganda, to stand with the Biden Administration to reverse anti-Asylum and anti-Immigration laws of the Trump Administration. To stand up for human rights around the globe for not just LGBT people, but for all people.
This is an important legacy left to us. I did not know David Kato personally, but I saw profoundly what his legacy did for the Rev. Patrick Leuben Mukajanag and I stand in that legacy because I know what Rev. Patrick did for me.
