The film Call Me Kuchu is a film that tells the story of a gay couple in Africa struggling to obtain their rights as citizens. As we know, gayness is a despicable and disgusting act that should not be supported, the government of a country should ban gay people for the safety of society and its citizens. As has been implemented in Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other countries.
The following is a brief review of the CallMeKuchu film obtained from Wikipedia
In Kampala, two men are having a ninth birthday party with their friends. However, it was a very quiet event and everyone was dressed casually so as not to attract attention. Meanwhile, we see footage of priests and politicians depicting homosexuality as a Western and sinful activity.
Outside his home, David Kato (1964-2011) tells how he learned about “gay life” when he lived in South Africa ten years earlier. He got a gay escort and had sex for the first time, at the age of 28. He then decided to return to his home country, Uganda and spread gay rights there. At the headquarters of Sexual Minorities Uganda, the LGBT non-profit organization he runs, he explained that he was the first openly gay man in Uganda. He added that his job is to track all cases of homophobia in Uganda. Furthermore, a man from Mbale explained that he was arrested and humiliated by police officers. Then Naome Ruzindana was introduced as a lesbian activist with two children. In 2004, she founded the African Lesbian Coalition.
Gilles Muhame, managing editor of the Ugandan weekly tabloid Rolling Stone, spoke about his decision to publish photos of homosexuals with a quote from a priest: “Hang them!” He added that he wanted to raid their home and take photos of them in their bedrooms, and thus “disregard their right to privacy for the sake of the public interest.” Meanwhile, Naomi revealed she was the target of homophobia after her photo was published in the newspaper. Later, David saw a copy of Rolling Stone that falsely accused homosexuals of aiding and abetting terrorist organizations such as the Lord’s Resistance Army, Allied Democrat Forces, and Al-Shabaab during the Kampala attacks in July 2010. David then spoke with his lawyer, who advised him not to prosecute every homophobic article published. Next Long Jones discusses another article in Rolling Stone, which states that they have a list of 100 homosexuals who spread AIDS in Uganda. In the trial of these articles, Gilles Muhame did not submit a defense and the verdict was postponed; Pastor Solomon Male was present.
A friend of Naomi’s and fellow Stosh activist later told how she was raped by a man who wanted to set her straight by doing just that. She gave him AIDS and his family couldn’t believe that it happened without someone else’s consent. When she became pregnant five months later, she had an abortion. Introduced next was Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, who said that the Apostle Paul did not discriminate against homosexuals in Galatians 3:28, and wanted to build a safe center for them.
Meanwhile, we learn that politician David Bahati has proposed Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which has been widely condemned by the international community. However, residents of Jinja, Uganda are protesting against the bill, organized by Pastor Martin Ssempa, which falsely accuses homosexuals of “raping children”. We then heard from Dr Sylvia Tamale who explained that in March 2009, the Family Life Network invited evangelical leaders from the United States to warn the Ugandan public about alleged homosexual threats from abroad. Likewise, another pastor named HM Nyanzi said that homosexuality is against God’s word because it is against reproduction. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone published pictures of part two and Gilles boasted of it as an accomplishment. David appealed to the local bureau of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. Bishop Senyonjo claims that he was expelled from the Church of Uganda because he supported homosexuals, although the church claims that it was because he participated in the ordination of a man to be bishop of a church that was not a member of the Church of Uganda. in fellowship.[4] In another case, there was a second trial, and the judge ruled that the newspaper was not allowed to publish pictures, names, and addresses of homosexuals. David and his friends throw a party–a fashion show where they crossdress to celebrate their victory.
David has murdered in a devastating homophobic attack. Anti-gay protesters disturbed the funeral. Still, his friends threw a party in his honor after the funeral. In New York City, LGBT activists also honored his death, condemning pastors Lou Engle and Scott Lively for allegedly promoting homophobia in Uganda. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone’s Gilles was unrepentant and took no responsibility for her death. David’s friends feared the worst in their lives. However, due to international pressure, the anti-gay law was not passed.
