WHEN DID QUEER PEOPLE START HATING EACHOTHER. WE ARE IN THIS FIGHT TOGETHER.
THERE IS NO USE IN FIGHTING TO BE ALLOWED TO LOVE AND BE TRUE TO OURSELVES WHEN WE ARE PITTED AGAINST THE VERY PEOPLE WE ARE FIGHTING ALONGSIDE.
🌈 Freedom Spectrum of East Africa 🌈
We’re a grassroots initiative led by displaced LGBTQIA+ people in East Africa located in South Sudan (Gorom & Juba) and Kenya (Kakuma) committed to protecting human dignity, challenging discrimination, and creating a future where every queer person can live freely, proudly, and without fear. 
We provide emergency shelter, protection, HIV/AIDS support, and long-term help for those fleeing violence and persecution. Currently, our community includes nearly 470 LGBTQIA+ refugees, including children. 
🌍 Why we need hope:
“We were LGBTIQA+ refugees in Kakuma… already running from persecution”
“We moved to Gorom believing it would be safer. But… local people threaten to kill us simply because of who we are.”
These are the harsh realities facing people like Malik, one of our organizers. 
💛 How you can help:
• Donate: Support us via our GoFundMe page, every contribution helps fund emergency relief, safety, housing, medical care, and long-term support. 
• Volunteer: We need skills in website building, planning, accounting, budgeting, and more. If you can help, reach out at [email protected].
Together, we can build a world where being LGBTQIA+ isn’t a crime, a risk, or a source of shame but simply part of being human. Let’s make that future possible. 💪✨

Always remember who started to fight back first. Intersectionalty is so important!
This is the only known photo of the first trans woman to have her gender legally recognized in Switzerland.
In 1914, Adine T. sent a letter to her local police to grant her a pass to dress as she pleased. She petitioned that "I be granted permission to live as a woman, to wear female clothing and to pursue female occupations, and to be considered a woman before the world in all and every respect, since my emotional feelings are totally feminine and I feel unspeakably unhappy in male clothing."
Her gender was so clear that even the conservative Swiss government had to recognize it. Obtaining permission to live as a woman "is a matter of life and death for me," Adine added.
111 years ago, it was the first pass of its kind in her nation (although not the first in Europe). When interviewed, Adine described herself similarly to other trans lesbians in the 20th century: "a homosexual woman in a male body.” Source: Matthias Ruoss, "Arnold, Arnoldine, Adine."
The East African region presents a complex and varied spectrum of freedom, shaped by diverse political systems, cultural values, and historical legacies. Countries such as Kenya and Tanzania maintain nominally democratic systems but face criticism for political suppression, restricted press freedoms, and growing limitations on civil liberties. Uganda, under long-term authoritarian rule, has seen a sharp decline in democratic space, with severe crackdowns on dissent and some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws on the continent.
In South Sudan, ongoing conflict, instability, and authoritarian governance create an environment of extreme repression, with limited freedom of movement, speech, or association. Ethiopia, while once hailed for reform, has backslid significantly due to internal conflict and a shrinking civic space. Rwanda, often praised for stability and development, maintains strict government control, limited political opposition, and suppressed freedom of expression.
Across the region, LGBTQ+ communities face widespread criminalization, violence, and systemic discrimination, with few safe spaces and almost no legal protection. Independent media and civil society actors operate under constant threat, and authoritarian tactics are increasingly common.
Despite these challenges, brave activists, journalists, and marginalized communities continue to resist, document abuses, and advocate for human rights in some of the most repressive environments on the continent. Please help and donate to our gofundme page in my pinned post
Today, May 17th, is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT).
This year’s theme, “No one left behind,” is not just a slogan—it’s a call to action. And it must include LGBTIQA+ people in South Sudan, where queer lives are pushed into silence, secrecy, and survival.
In South Sudan, being LGBTIQA+ is not just dangerous—it’s life-threatening.
We live without legal protections. We face daily harassment, assault, and rejection by our own families, communities, and institutions. The fear is constant, and resources for survival are nearly nonexistent.
I’m speaking out not only for myself but for many queer people here who cannot speak for themselves. We need your support.
We have launched a GoFundMe to help provide safe shelter, food, and essentials for LGBTIQA+ individuals facing extreme risk in South Sudan:
Here’s how you can help:
• Donate or share the GoFundMe above
• Support organizations like @Rainbow Railroad, @OutRight International, @Human Rights Watch, and @Amnesty International
• Advocate for the protection of LGBTIQA+ asylum seekers and refugees from hostile regions like South Sudan
• Share our stories—visibility saves lives
Let’s live up to this year’s theme. Let’s truly make sure no one is left behind.

Hello , how are you? It’s great to connect with a soul like you. Also we are in lgbtiqa living in Gorom camp of South Sudan. We came from Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya to South Sudan after UNHCR of Kenya told us they are not willing to help us.
The good news are that the could be process in Gorom and most of the lgbtiqa refugees are registered and being given resettlement countries. We are new arrivals for my case and we please plowed for your help so that we can be able to get food and medication being that there are a lot of diseases in the camp caused by the poor hygiene and lack of toilets in the camp.
There is a larger population in the camp compared to the space and also homophobia is another problem. The camp officials are homophobic however much they have to work on our cases. They told us that they closed the registration process but they will open soon and so we are confident that we shall be registered.
I plead for your help for all of us as we are around 500 lgbtiqa people in Gorom camp.
Please help us buy food, medicine, women and children supplies, water, housing and mosquito nets through our gofundme below. 👇
We shall be grateful for your support.

#lgbtiqa #trans #gay #lesbian Hello beautiful people, As of April 2025, the situation for LGBTQIA+ and transgender individuals in Gorom Refugee Settlement near Juba, South Sudan, remains dire. Despite fleeing persecution in their home countries, majority of lgbtiqa people in South Sudan currently flee from Kenya and many face continued threats within the camp.
Legal and Social Context
South Sudan criminalizes same-sex relations, with penalties up to 10 years in prison, though enforcement is inconsistent. Cross-dressing is also penalized, and there are no legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity . This legal framework contributes to a hostile environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Conditions in Gorom Camp
LGBTQIA+ refugees in Gorom face daily violence, including physical attacks, death threats, and sexual assault. They often lack police protection and are denied access to essential services like healthcare and education for their children . The camp’s infrastructure is inadequate, with many lacking proper shelter, leading to health risks .
Institutional Response
Organizations like UNHCR and ACROSS have been criticized for insufficient support. While some interviews with LGBTQIA+ individuals have been conducted, proposed solutions, such as relocation within South Sudan, do not guarantee safety due to widespread homophobia . Also some have been able to be interviewed and looking for a way forward to be resettled to safe places.
Community Efforts
Despite challenges, LGBTQIA+ refugees have organized to support one another. Fundraisers have been initiated to provide basic necessities, and some community members have celebrated Pride events discreetly .
In summary, LGBTQIA+ and transgender individuals in Gorom Refugee Settlement continue to endure severe hardships, with limited institutional support and ongoing threats to their safety and well-being.
Please help and donate to our cause so that we can be able to acquire food, safe water, housing and medicine. Gofundme below 👇
