Coming soon: new Rainbow Riots project to help LGBT grassroots communities advocate against anti-gay-legislation, and end the violence and discrimination against LGBT people! No human should live in fear because of who they are or who they love! 🌈🌈
Uganda’s Constitutional Court upholds the Anti-Homosexuality Act, including the death penalty in certain circumstances. Rainbow Riots founder Petter Wallenberg says: “This is a grave violation of fundamental rights for LGBT people, but we won’t give up. We will continue to fight hatred with creativity.” ![]()

A throwback to five years ago when Rainbow Riots launched India’s first Pride anthem, “Love is love” created by our founder, Swedish artist Petter Wallenberg and India’s first openly queer singers. It was created just as India legalised same sex relations and we performed at India’s first legal Pride and at Stockholm Pride. The performers became the first Indian LGBTQ artists to ever perform at an international pride stage. 💖💖
”Rainbow Riots India” was our projekt with the queer pioneers of India. We worked alongside the LGBT movement that helped legalise same sex relations India. What an amazing, historic victory for human rights! ❤️🌈🌈
Many LGBT+ people are lonely at the Xmas holidays. Especially in a country where same sex relations are illegal and many are abandoned by their own families. So a few years back Rainbow Riots, a non profit organisation based in Sweden and Uganda, organised a big LGBT+ community Xmas dinner in Kampala, Uganda. ![]()
It was lovely to gather around something positive and festive to draw strength from. Happy new year everyone! 🎉🎉🌸🌸💖💖![]()
