New York honours Uganda’s dead gay

New York University has named a newly opened college ‘David Kato’, in memory of a former student who went to the university in 2010 for six months as a Protective Fellow on the Human Rights Defenders Programme at the Centre for Applied Human Rights (CAHR) before he was murdered.

Kato was renowned as a human rights activist who was murdered in Uganda over allegedly winning a court victory against a tabloid that called for homosexuals to be killed.

Opened at the east campus of the institution in Heslington, this college is aimed at providing an environment which is a “safe space” for refugees, asylum seekers and other people who have been forced to leave their homes.

Kato was murdered in Kampala in 2011 and his killers have never been arrested.

A veteran journalist who did not want his name to be mentioned sent this, ” Not only gay but a rapist gay. He wasn’t killed because he was gay but the young boy he rescued from prison killed him with a hammer to the head after he raped him in guise of helping him.”  That is how bad homosexuals can be.
