Rainbow Warrior #3

Painting of the Ugandan LGBT activist David Kato died in 2011 and was murdered.

David Kato Kisule was an activist for gay rights in his home country Uganda, where a very restrictive policy applies towards homosexuality and bisexuality. David Kato successfully sued a newspaper that published names and photos of gays and lesbians with a call to kill them. Kato was murdered on January 262011.

This painting is one of a series of 6 portraits in memory of brave people who have fought for LGBTI rights in their own way.

This series is still in development. 2 of the 6 paintings (in different rainbow colors) are not yet finished. Half of the proceeds will be donated to ILGA.

The ILGA (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association) is an international organization that advocates for equal rights of lesbian women, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people, and people with intersex conditions; and against homophobia and transphobia.
