My name is “anonymous”and I am a 21-year-old individual from Uganda. I am writing to you in desperate need of support and assistance regarding a grave situation I am facing due to my sexual orientation.
Today my family discovered that I am gay, and the consequences have been severe. My father has denounced me, and my uncle has threatened to involve the police. Fearing for my safety and well-being, I had to leave my home and seek refuge at a friend's place. However, my friend is unaware of the real reason behind my departure, as he is also anti-gay.
The emotional distress caused by this situation has become overwhelming, and I find myself having suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, when I attempted to seek help from local mental health services, I encountered further discrimination and prejudice. The counselor I spoke to invalidated my feelings and reinforced harmful beliefs that being gay is inherently bad and disgusting, insisting that I should obey my parents' wishes.
I am currently unable to trust anyone in Uganda, including the secret LGBTQ+ organizations, as they may have government agents infiltrating them. I understand that addressing situations like mine can be complex, especially in countries where LGBTQ+ rights are not adequately protected.
However, I firmly believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation. My request is you help me push the message to Uganda and entire world.
I am to kill myself through knife stabbing, with a suicidal note on the knife saying exactly what we go through as the LGBTQ community in Uganda, the abuse, discrimination etc.. I kindly request that if you come to see the news anywhere after my death you spread this message , so that people know the real cause. I am to do the killing live on instagram and Facebook so that it goes Viral.
Hopefully this will be a self sacrificial act that will help raise the volume of people like me. At the moment my life is worthless but I want to make it useful for my folks.
Until I am dead please treat my personality with total confidentiality. I kindly request 🙏🙏 for your contribution with my cause
Hoping for your faster response as I am limited with time.
