Abstract
LGBTQIA+ individuals in Uganda are affected by the intersectional impact of the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act. This contribution assesses how the Act affects mobility decisions of LGBTQIA+ persons in the country. Since internal flight is not an option, and seeking asylum in another country depends on visibility as an LGBTQIA+ individual, people use different strategies to avoid being stuck in immobility and actively navigate the restrictive environment in Uganda.
Key words: (im)mobility, refugees in Uganda, intersectionality, LGBT, Uganda
