The editor of the paper defends the article because "homosexuality is worse than terrorism".
And the same paper is at it again: they have run a second article publishing names and photos (and at least partial addresses) of gays in Uganda.
The Towleroad coverage of this includes a link to a CNN interview with a lesbian who has had to go into hiding after being outed in the first article.
Update: One of the individuals named and photographed in the second article (David Kato, a prominent activist) was murdered in his home on Wednesday, January 26th. Box Turtle Bulletin reports on the response to his death in the local media.

One of the leading figures in the LGBT movement in Uganda, David Kato, was murdered two days ago in his home. This awful tragedy makes clear what's at stake for Brenda if she is forced to return.
Will you join more than 40,000 people in 160 countries and sign this urgent letter pressuring U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May to stop Brenda's deportation?
