Remember that gay couple from Uganda who met (and married) in Sweden and was threatened with deportation back to the very un-gay-friendly Uganda? Well, Gay Star News has good news:
Lawrence Kaala obtained a residency permit in Sweden yesterday (28 February), after fears he would be deported back to native Uganda with its strict anti-gay laws. Earlier this year, Kaala and his partner Jimmy Sswerwadda legally married in a church, an apparent first for a Ugandan gay couple. But as soon as they married, Sweden’s Migration Board (SMD) issued a deportation order for Kaala.
We’re thrilled for the couple – what a great wedding present!
