Secret lives: an evening in a Ugandan gay bar
During the week this pub, located in the capital's business district.
Kampala (AFP) - Just as he attends church on Sunday morning, there s another sacred place Nick, a 23-year-old Kampala stylist, flocks to every Sunday night.
"It gives me fuel for the whole week," he says, standing beer in hand outside an inconspicuous bar, in a red check shirt and jeans.
"When I come here I don t mind if I miss sleep and then go to work, because I go to work feeling happy, new. It s a beautiful Sunday."
During the week this pub, located in the capital s business district but away from the nightclub strip, is full of unsuspecting, heterosexual Ugandans.
But for six hours on a Sunday night that fly by all too fast, the venue, with its grass thatched roof and flashing fluorescent disco floor lights, becomes a haven for Uganda s gay community who meet here to drink, dance and more.
