Umm, sorry but Rod 2.0 has been blogging about Uganda since at least '06 or '07 when I started reading him. I think Joe is kinda new to covering African LGBTs, imo.
I know you're predisposed toward complimenting white men as opposed to another brotha but REALLY!
REALLY? What predisposition do I have towards complimenting White men?
Do tell.
Obviously, Rod 2.0 has been covering Uganda as well. I didn't think it was necessary to include him in the list since people reading his blog would be unsurprised to get info about Uganda---finding it at JMG, PHB and BTB is a good thing.
Rod today even gave a hat/tip to Joe.My.God in his update, and everyone seems to agree that BoxTurtleBulletin has been pretty incredible.
