🎉 We’re beyond thrilled to share the great response to our founding director Petter Wallenberg’s new single, “My Love (is the way it’s supposed to be)” — featuring New York drag legend Lady Bunny and queer voices from Uganda, where it is illegal and dangerous to be LGBT. 🤩🌍This isn’t just a song — it’s advocacy in the face of rising threats. We’re therefore grateful to see world-leading LGBT media & organizations like Yahoo, GLAAD, and Attitude championing this single and celebrating the cause. 🌈✨For 10 years, Rainbow Riots has been on the ground in Uganda, fighting for LGBT rights in one of the world’s most hostile countries for queer people.

MY LOVE (IS THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE) - the new track composed and produced by our founder Petter Wallenberg featuring New York drag legend Lady Bunny and queer voices from Uganda, where it’s illegal and dangerous to be LGBT. 🌈The track comes in 3 versions – disco, afrobeat and ballad – and the video was filmed in USA, Sweden and Uganda. In times where LGBT rights are under threat, the message is simple: my love is the way it’s supposed to be. 💕🌈All proceeds go to Rainbow Riots work supporting marginalised LGBT+ communities. 🌈🌈🌈This EP is now on Spotify and all major streaming platforms: open.spotify.com/album/6h2jvHd1dJD46mgKUTjQH0?si=mnp89kG-TVSGwmhmyFDMuwWith funding from Svenska institutet ...
