CANON ALBERT OGLE, both of the St. Paul Foundation for International Reconciliation, about the plight of gays and lesbians in Uganda, how religiously-fueled homophobia prevents men who have sex with men from seeking life-saving HIV/AIDS testing and care, and the acclaimed new documentary they've been traveling with - in which Bishop Senyonjo is featured - about assassinated Ugandan gay activist David Kato, called "Call Me Kuchu".
