Giles Muhame, the managing editor of the Rolling Stone that published an article identifying a group of Ugandans as homosexuals, is set to appeal against today’s High Court ruling against the newspaper.
The article indicated addresses and pictures of the individuals whom it described as "Uganda's top homos" under the title “Hang themâ€.
The High Court ruled that the newspaper violated the constitutional rights to privacy and safety of these individuals. The Civil Society Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law in Uganda announced that the court had awarded the three plaintiffs in whose names the case was launched damages of shs4.5m.
However, Muhame who says Rolling Stone is “exposing the evil in our society†told The Independent that the newspaper’s lawyers were already preparing an affidavit to set foot in the court of appeal. “We are also going to get signatures from Ugandans,†he added.
Human rights groups warned that the article in October put the lives of gay people in danger, saying that at least one women named in the story had been forced to leave her home after neighbours pelted it with stones.

Homosexual men are known to be sexual abusers than heterosexuals, on the grounds that a third of abusers target boys rather than mature adults.
Homosexuality leads to Proctitis and Proctocolitis, inflammations of the rectum and colon that cause pain, bloody rectal discharge and rectal spasms.
It causes Enteritis which leads to abdominal pain, severe cramping, intense diarrhea(the reason u s**t head homos tend to 'pad' yourselves), fever, malabsorption of nutrients & weight loss.
And u think all that is right s**theads?? U must be real crackheads!!
