A group of LGBT refugees have been attacked and been sent death threats after they held a Pride event in their refugee camp.

A group of refugees have faced physical violence and death threats from other camp members following the first Pride parade in the camp at the weekend.

A spokesperson from Refugee Flag Kakuma told PinkNews that two members of the group had already faced physical violence for being publicly involved in the event.

“The longer it’s there the more effect it has, two people were attacked the night after the event, a lesbian and transgender person,” they said.

Homosexuality has previously carried a life sentence in Uganda and LGBT people often face violence and persecution.

Why do people have to hate what they don't understand???

1. They don't HAVE to hate. They're TAUGHT to hate.

From the musical "South Pacific":

You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught

2. No, but they have to misspell their hateful signs...

That's quiet obvious above, and we cannot be quite in response. Fox news kept my parents infromed on the latest racist viewpoints, but only served as moranic bias validation for them.
I say, I say... keep the kids, welcome the refugees, deport the bigots.

3. Here, here! There ignorance is exceeded only by they're spite.

My sentiments exactly: "keep the kids, welcome the refugees, deport the bigots."
