Aeon commissioned photographer Tadej Znidarcic to illustrate Graeme Wood’s essay ’Outrageous Freedom’ on Ugandan gay rights. Znidarcic had unprecedented access to both sides of the conflict, photographing a gathering of the religious and political firebrands who continue to press for the anti-homosexuality bill to be passed in parliament, as well as the gay activists who campaign for freedom from persecution.
Demonstrators support the anti-homosexuality bill outside the Ugandan parliament, November 2012.
