Pope Francis met with Ugandan LGBTQ+ activist Clare Byarugaba, marking a historic recognition of LGBTQ+ rights and condemning discrimination as a sin.
In the meeting, Byarugaba stated, "discrimination is a sin, and violence against the LGBTIQ communities is unacceptable," emphasizing the pope's strong stance against such injustices.
Chapter Four Uganda highlighted that the pope affirmed, "The Church should never discriminate, and he walks with everyone who has been denied their dignity," indicating a progressive shift.
Dr. Frank Mugisha remarked that the pope's interaction with Byarugaba delivers a powerful message to anti-rights advocates in Uganda, challenging the anti-gay sentiments within the country.
