They’re not homosexuals—at least according to a judge in the UK.

Elizabeth Muhwezi is today being held under suicide watch at Yarls Wood detention centre, awaiting Home Office directions for her deportation to Uganda on 11 June, where she will be at serious risk of persecution on the grounds of her lesbianism. Uganda is one of the most homophobic countries in Africa—and the world….

Previously, an adjudicator at Manchester Immigration and Asylum Tribunal dismissed Elizabeth’s asylum appeal, stating that evidence submitted describing the persecution faced by “homosexuals” in Uganda only refers to gay men. Women, according to the judgement, cannot be understood to be “homosexual.”
