My Reaction Video to UGANDA TV SHOW MORNING BREEZE - Moderator Asks Trans Man - "Why Are You Gay"

THE ORIGIN OF “WHY ARE YOU GAE”

While the “Why Are You Gay” or “Why Are You Gae” meme exploded in popularity in 2019, the meme source was a 2012 video debate on the Ugandan show Morning Breeze. The now-infamous exchange involved show host Simon Kaggwa Njala and LGBTQ activist Pepe Julian Onziema.

Onziema, a trans man, had been invited to participate in a discussion about queer people and their situation in Uganda. In a bizarre interview opening, Njala greeted Onziema with, “Thank you for coming in, good morning. Why are you gay?”

“Who says I’m gay?” Onziema replied.

Notably, Onziema, who is in a romantic relationship with a woman, was assigned female at birth and previously identified as gay before later coming out as a trans man.

However, Njala ignored the question and asserted, “You are gay.”

Onziema and Njala were later joined by anti-gay pastor Martin Ssempa on the show. Ssempa engaged in a shouting match with Onziema, using fruits and vegetables as props to demonstrate what he claimed transgender people used for sex.
