Description of Pictures: We Are Kuchus: Investigating the roots of homophobia in Uganda @ Knight Conference Center
Photojournalist and Pulitzer Center grantee Daniella Zalcman discusses her work documenting Uganda’s defiant community of LGBT activists, and their country’s ongoing efforts to criminalize sexual identity. Zalcman will show images from “Double Lives” and “Faces of Faith,” projects documenting Uganda’s LGBT community and a cross-section of views on homosexuality from Uganda’s religious leaders. A reception will follow the discussion.
Daniella Zalcman is an award-winning photojournalist based in London and New York. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, TIME, Sports Illustrated, and Vanity Fair, among others. Her photographs have been exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe and are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She graduated from Columbia University in 2009 with a degree in architecture.
The event is presented by The Pulitzer Center and the Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum Institute.
The event was introduced by Charles Haynes from the Religious Freedom Center and Nathalie Applewhite of the Pulitzer Center

KUCHU2_141211_030.JPG: "Homosexuality is abnormal, and we have to do anything we can to stop it. These people need to feel guilty, need to feel that they have sinned."
KUCHU2_141211_036.JPG: "Today you say you hate gay people, tomorrow God will give you a gay son. And what will you do then? Hate him? You have to work with people who have different beliefs."
KUCHU2_141211_044.JPG: "Religious leaders are here to shape the world. Everyone listens to them, everyone looks up to them. And we need to listen to all of our people, not just the ones we things are most religious."
KUCHU2_141211_052.JPG: "Spiritually, it is against god's will. God created a man and a woman for reproduction. That is how we sustain humanity. If homosexuality continues, the human race will be wiped out."
KUCHU2_141211_056.JPG: "If the West would stop putting so much pressure on Uganda and let us evolve for ourselves, I think our outlook could change."
KUCHU2_141211_062.JPG: "You can be gay and you can be a Christian. It is your choice to come to the church and talk about salvation."
KUCHU2_141211_068.JPG: "We pray for love, we pray to be a better part of our community, but above all else we emphasize tolerance and unity. All of the different religions are just chapters in one big book. We cannot chase you away for having different beliefs."
KUCHU2_141211_074.JPG: "Why should we want to kill homosexuals for doing something in private that affects no one else? Our job is to love them, to bring them close and show them God's love."
KUCHU2_141211_086.JPG: "Homosexuality is something that can be corrected. No one is born gay, circumstances force people into it. I don't believe that God would create something so disoriented."
KUCHU2_141211_089.JPG: "Sometimes, people make poor choices. We have a church disciplinary council that will form to address those who have violated our standards of morality, and we withdraw privileges while they begin the process of repentance. For those who are rebellious and refuse to repent, they may be excommunicated and removed from the church."
KUCHU2_141211_108.JPG: "People need to be really taught about homosexuality first before they make up their minds about the law. I haven't heard enough about them, so I don't want to give my opinion because I don't know the facts well enough yet."
