A transgender man appeared on Ugandan television’s Morning Breeze to talk about homosexuality, but he could barely get a word in edgewise with antigay Reverend Martin Ssempa’s vitriolic hate speech and constant interruptions.

BY SUNNIVIE BRYDUM

The Reverend Martin Ssempa, a vehemently antigay pastor in Uganda who travels the country preaching against “sodomy” byshowing pornography in churches, couldn’t show basic common courtesy to a transgender man whom he appeared with on Ugandan talk show Morning Breeze.

In the video clip from Ugandan news channel NBS, Ssempa repeatedly interrupts and shouts over Pepe Onziema, a transgender man and LGBT activist in Uganda.

As Ssempa launches into a graphic description of how he perceives that gay men and lesbians have sex — complete with the classic “exit only” defense of the anus — the preacher repeatedly interrupts and refers to Onziema as “she” and “this woman,” despite the moderator’s repeated attempts to correct and rein in the preacher, who continues his outbursts in English and Luganda.

Click the link above to view a list of trans* douchebaggery I have created in order to help document what some trans* role models REALLY stand for. This list will be added to as other resources are found and more instances occur (and they will).

I wanted to announce what we’re calling THE DECEMBER PROJECT, a reachout by Dylan Scholinski, Mara Keisling, Jennifer Finney Boylan, and Helen Boyd to raise the spirits of people in the trans community during what can be a difficult time of year.

We are trans activists, homebodies, authors, parents, spouses, artists, and teachers, including a trans man, two trans women, and a loving spouse.  Here’s our pledge to you: If you feel low this December, and need someone to talk to, contact us, and we’ll call you on the phone.  Period.
