拜托小姐

一 | At a small shelter in Uganda, members of the LGBTQ community seek refuge from persecution after their government enacted one of the world's harshest anti-homosexuality laws earlier this year.Henry, whose full name is being withheld for safety reasons, runs the shelter along with a local clinic he says also serves the general community."Somebody has just called me that they need shelter. He has been evicted, and he's on his way," Henry told ABC News foreign correspondent James Longman.A man named Emmanuel arrives -- he says he hasn't slept in days and is seeking a place to stay to keep him off the streets. Later, he tells ABC News that he's estranged from his family and recently got kicked out of his home after the landlord spotted his boyfriend visiting."Every day that goes by, you feel like it's becoming more like you're in a box," said Emmanuel, whose full name is being withheld for safety reasons."My biggest fear is the police can find me anywhere," Emmanuel said.Despite that fear and the risk of showing his face, Emmanuel said he's tired of hiding."I wouldn't want to live in the fear. I'll stand in, to be that person who is not scared of being who I really am," Emmanuel said.Uganda has effectively made being gay illegal of what the law calls "aggravated homosexuality" -- up to life in prison or even execution. Someone simply advocating for gay rights could serve up to 20 years behind bars. Renting up a room to a gay couple could result in a 7-year prison sentence.Critically, failing to report same-sex acts to the police is also a crime, creating a culture of suspicion that people like Henry and Emmanuel have seen firsthand."Right now, I'm one of the victims of the bill," said Henry, who has been targeted and arrested before for helping gay people. Since ABC News' visit to the clinic, police raided and shut Henry's clinic down. Henry was arrested and released.

Hiding in plain sight

Just before the new law came into effect, Mona Lisa, a 29-year-old trans woman, had her home raided by Ugandan authorities. She was jailed for three months on charges of "homosexuality propaganda."Her apartment is the only place where she feels safe to be her true self. She pulls out a small suitcase from on top of a shelf. Inside, her prized outfits are stashed away in secret.Donning a bright blue and yellow-patterned wrap and matching pants, a dark brown bob, and red lipstick, Mona Lisa says, "I feel perfect. I feel like this is the Mona I want to be like on a daily basis."While there was a time when it was safer to be her true self in public, she says, "It's not happening now."Meanwhile, 27-year-old Eric was also arrested earlier this year. Inside his home, the young activist wears a striped rainbow shirt and his home is filled with color. His full name and location are being withheld for safety reasons.But it's not safe to go out like this, Eric says.For Eric and his friends, just existing is a form of defiance. On this night, going out to a club is their act of resistance."You can't go alone out -- in case something happens. You can't just go alone," Eric said.Gay clubs in Uganda have been shut down, so the group of friends head to a local dance party instead. It's not illegal to have a good time, but those who are gay understand the risks.Despite the positive energy at the party, there's potential danger lurking beneath the surface. One complaint, one annoyed neighbor, one over-curious passerby, and it could all end with police sirens and violence.Yet, for Eric and his friends, they say this release is crucial for their survival."I surround myself with people that accept me. It's important," Eric said.

Denying the law's impact: 'We look at gay as a deviation'

Asuman Basalirwa is one of the Ugandan lawmakers who sponsored the new law and says other countries should respect Uganda's sovereignty."For us, we look at gay as a deviation," Basalirwa told ABC News.During a two-hour interview with Longman, Basalirwa repeatedly denied the negative impact of the new law on LGBT Ugandans."Let me tell you, I am a lawyer here, if anybody is being persecuted for existence, give me their contacts, I'll represent them free of charge. Where are they?" Basalirwa said.But Ugandan Human rights attorney Nicholas Opiyo says, "the stories I hear every day is different from what [Basalirwa] would want to tell you.""I have people who have been raped who are afraid to go to hospitals, because of fear of being reported. I have people who are hiding in their houses and are calling me for medical help, for food," Opiyo told ABC News.

Exporting hate through evangelism

The Anglican church has spearheaded the anti-LGBTQ movement in Uganda, where more than 80% of people are Christian and nearly 14.4% of people are Muslim -- with a heavy emphasis on "traditional family."Pastor Simeon Kawiya leads a Christian church in Kampala and is a supporter of the new anti-homosexuality law. Kawiya believes that being gay is taught and not how people are born."It's not a human right to be gay. It's not," Kawaiya told ABC News."The Parliament of Uganda voted 100% in favor of anti-LGBT law. I mean, the whole country voted that way," Kawaiya continued.More than 30 African countries ban same-sex relations, according to Human Rights Watch.But some people, including preacher Kapya Kaoma, claim anti-LGBTQ sentiment on the continent has been influenced from the outside."The whole idea of the persecution of African LGBTQ people did not come from Africa. American Christian rightists are behind it," Kaoma told ABC News.While working as a preacher in Uganda, Kaoma took videos of American preachers speaking against homosexuality in the country that became part of the award-winning documentary, "God Loves Uganda."Several media outlets, including Open Democracy, have reported that U.S.-based Christian groups -- known for fighting everything from access to abortion to limiting LGBTQ right -- spent tens of millions of dollars across Africa over the last decade or more.The origins of the new anti-LGBTQ law in Uganda can be traced back to 2009, when a bill nicknamed "Kill the Gays" was drafted in parliament. It finally passed in 2014, but was struck down before it went into effect."The American Evangelicals also learned something. What they started doing is having conferences -- Africans with American Christian rightists coming together," Kaoma said.Just before the new anti-LGBTQ law went into effect earlier this year, the government of Uganda hosted a conference titled, "Protecting African Culture and Family Values," which included members of parliament and Uganda President Yoweri Museveni, who posted parts of it on his social media channels."There will be no promotion of homosexuality in Uganda," Museveni said.Ugandan state TV also showed Sharon Slater, head of Arizona-based evangelical group, Family Watch International, speaking at the conference."I cannot tell you the power that I think will reverberate across Africa that will affect the whole world from this conference…We must stop this cultural imperialism that is coming and destroying our children and our families," Slater said.Shortly after the conference, Museveni signed the anti-homosexuality bill into law."Sharon Slater cannot deny those connections, she has people working with her on the ground in Uganda," Kaoma said.Family Watch International denies it helped author Uganda's anti-LGBTQ law. According to their website, the group says it opposed the bill and the penalties, including the death penalty and the part that would punish people for not turning in others."Family Watch pleaded with Uganda's president that if he planned to sign the bill, to ensure that it be softened to include a safe-haven clause whereby people with unwanted same-sex attraction can voluntarily come forward to ask for help without fear of being arrested or penalized," a statement on their website said.Opiyo, the human rights lawyer, told ABC News, "Who I have sex with, who I love, is less important to a common person in the village.""Evangelical and cultural groups have jumped on this campaign as an issue for them, and have created a sense that there's widespread hatred in this country," Opiyo said.

Looking ahead

The United States government invests nearly $1 billion annually in Uganda, according to the U.S. Embassy in Uganda.When asked what material response the Biden administration is planning, U.S. Secretary Antony Blinken told reporters at a press conference, "[Uganda's anti-homosexuality act] infringes very clearly on the human rights of Ugandan citizens…President Biden directed the government to evaluate all aspects of our engagement with Uganda…That process is ongoing and when I have any news for you on that front, I will share it."It's unclear if U.S. sanctions would have any effect.The World Bank has already stopped lending to Uganda and the European Union denounced the bill as well.Meanwhile, many of the young people in the country who spoke to ABC News wonder how they will survive in a country determined to punish them for merely living their lives."For me, it's all about freedom. Let us live in the moment, and be loved," Mona Lisa said.ABC News' Allie Weintraub, Jaclyn Skurie, Meagan Redman, and Stephanie Lorenzo contributed to this report.。

北京时间7月25日，在美国俄勒冈尤金举行的2022田径世锦赛结束。最后一个比赛日，中国选手贺相红以2小时24分45秒的成绩获得男子35公里竞走第五名，刷新了由自己保持的全国纪录，至此，53名中国选手在本届世锦赛征程结束，共夺得2金1银3铜6枚奖牌。相比3年前多哈田径世锦赛的3金3银3铜，本届赛会，中国队斩获的奖牌有所减少，未能在竞走等传统强项中展现绝对优势，但男子跳远和男子三级跳远等项目创造历史性突破、女子铁饼时隔11年再度登顶、男子马拉松等多个项目刷新中国队在世锦赛最好成绩，老将的坚守和新人的突破均证明中国田径已具备“多点开花”的局面和整体向好的趋势。“意外之喜”不意外中国队在本届世锦赛的最大突破来自男子跳远项目。25岁的王嘉男在决赛最后一跳将成绩提升了33厘米，从第五名瞬间跃居第一，惊天逆袭令他夺得中国男子跳远的世锦赛首金，打开了中国田径在田赛领域的新局面。这次充满戏剧性的突破被大众视为“意外之喜”，但在中国田协美籍教练兰道尔·亨廷顿看来，王嘉男的爆发早在意料之中，“我觉得如果世锦赛在去年如期举行的话，他的成绩应该在8米40到8米50之间。预赛之后，我就告诉他，你能够赢得冠军，我知道他是现在中国男队中最有希望赢得金牌的。” 和此前在短跑等项目上实现突破一样，男子跳远也是中国田径“十年磨一剑”厚积薄发的结果。2013年，中国田径协会进一步深化“走出去，请进来”发展战略，包括兰迪在内的一批外教开始执教中国选手，而兰迪负责跳跃和短距离速度项目，他是苏炳添和王嘉男共同的教练。正是专业的理念和细致的训练方式，为中国田径一次次突破埋下伏笔。本届世锦赛，为中国田径填补了另一个空白的是朱亚明，他以17米31获得男子三级跳远铜牌，这是中国队在该项目的首枚世锦赛奖牌。

二 | 自东京奥运会夺得银牌后，朱亚明进入该项目奖牌榜竞争序列，世锦赛再入一枚铜牌，证明他并非昙花一现。不同于国内其他专业选手，朱亚明从21岁才开始正式接受专业训练，在2015年加入辽宁田径队之前，他是校园里横空出世的“扫地僧”。2019年，他进入国家队的视野，由巴西名帅内里奥·莫拉、中方教练、体能师、科研人员等组成的专业团队，帮助他的训练实现了从经验化向数据化的转变。赛后，朱亚明第一时间和外教“复盘”，“中国跳跃项目这次拿了两块奖牌，是非常好的开端，未来大赛亦有可能争取金牌，但这条路并不容易，还有很多事情要做。” 本届赛会第二金来自女子铁饼冠军冯彬。与王嘉男相似，她在东京奥运会上资格赛折戟，此后经历了心理调适和技术动作的改进，重返赛场，她第一投就将自己个人最好成绩提升了3.12米，成绩直接超越了名将奥尔曼在东京奥运会夺冠的68米98，一开始就“拔高”的门槛给其他选手带来压力，也为冯彬提前锁定冠军，重现了11年前老将李艳凤创造的辉煌。此外，尽管未能登上领奖台，但多位老将的坚持也实现突破。36岁老将董国建以2小时11分14秒名列第23名，创造了中国男子马拉松选手在世锦赛上的最快成绩；女子撑竿跳，李玲在预赛和决赛中先后跳出赛季个人最佳成绩，并拿到第6名，创造自己六次征战世锦赛以来的最好名次。优势项目亟须新人接班2019年多哈田径世锦赛，中国队的9枚奖牌中5枚出自女子竞走，4枚出自女子投掷。本次世锦赛前，女子竞走和女子铅球被视为中国军团的主要冲金点，然而，这两个项目先后未能问“金”，凸显了老将坚守不易、新人亟待突破的现状。从2011年开始，中国队始终未让世锦赛女子20公里竞走金牌旁落。

三 | 但本届赛会，女子20公里和35公里两个项目均满额参赛，最终仅以切阳什姐一人独得两枚铜牌收官。“东京奥运会刚结束，全运会就开始了，密集赛程后，大部分选手都进入较长的调整期。”中国竞走队教练对中青报·中青网记者透露，35岁的老将刘虹遇到不小挑战，去年全运会无缘奖牌后，她便表达过“这是阶段性最后一场比赛”的想法，但由于是卫冕冠军，刘虹得以持外卡参赛，这位决定再拼一把的“妈妈选手”赛前恢复训练不到3个月，“最终排名第五已经很不容易”。

四 | 32岁的切阳什姐自今年2月复出参赛后，在5周内收获3个冠军，强势回归的另一面则是“状态出得太早，没有恢复时间”。不过，从成绩来看，切阳什姐“状态在线”，本届35公里比赛中，她将自己今年4月创造的个人最好成绩大幅度提升，还创造了新的亚洲纪录。只是对手也在成长，在两个项目上均收获冠亚军的秘鲁选手加西亚·莱昂及波兰选手兹杰布洛，今后都将给中国队带来挑战。“年轻队员已登场，但和前辈们还有一定差距，需要更多具有含金量的比赛历练。”前述教练表示，女子20公里竞走还有两名小将参赛，出生于1998年的马振霞获得第10名，00后选手吴全明排名第13位。男子方面，1998年出生的贺相红表现出色，“他将个人最好成绩提升了近5分钟，敢打敢拼的作风值得所有年轻人学习。”该教练坦言，度过调整期，延续正确的训练方法，中国竞走仍将发力，“要让男队赶上来，女队重拾信心，团体上争取突破。” 对新人的“呼唤”也出现在女子铅球及4×100米接力项目中。本次赛事，东京奥运会冠军巩立姣无缘三连冠，但这枚银牌是她参加8届世锦赛获得的第7枚奖牌。“以前包袱一直在我身上，希望之后能有人扛起这面大旗。”巩立姣表示，以宋佳媛为代表的小将迅速成长，让她卸下不少“心理负担”。虽然本届赛会，宋佳媛排名第六，但25岁的小将仍处在上升期，本赛季，她先后投出20米20、20米38，两度排名赛季世界第一，“我由衷地为她感到高兴，我可以更放心地把接力棒交给她。”巩立姣说。备受关注的还有4×100米接力，即便有苏炳添、葛曼棋等名将领衔，男队、女队仍双双无缘决赛。两队均派出“以老带新”的阵容，在东京奥运会班底基础上，女队首棒李贺及男队最后一棒陈冠峰均为00后选手，如何帮助年轻队员尽快完成衔接，是中国短跑目前面临的问题。“对我来说，继续跑下去的时间不会太长。”赛后，苏炳添回顾了自2009年至今在中国接力队的13年生涯，在他看来，从亚运会冠军到奥运会铜牌，这个项目发展至今极为不易，需要一代代中国短跑选手传承及突破，“我不希望项目刚起来，成绩又下去了。
