David Kato Kisule (c. 1964 – 26 January 2011)[2] was a Ugandan teacher and LGBT rights activist, considered a father of Uganda's gay rights movement[3] and described as "Uganda's first openly gay man".[4] He served as advocacy officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG).
Kato was assassinated at his home in January 26, 2011, shortly after winning a lawsuit against a magazine which had published his name and photograph identifying him as gay and calling for him to be executed.[5]
