Aftenen vil indeholde LIVE acts fra nogle af de mest fremtrædende danske kunstnere og derudover have et DJ lineup med nogle af de allerbedste DJs som Danmark kan præsentere. KB3 vil blive omdannet til et storslået visuelt univers der trækker på 80’er æstetik, noir og glam. Formålet er at tage et kig tilbage i tiden, hvor den homoseksuelle klubscene for alvor gjorde sig markant, men bestemt ikke var accepteret. Derved trækkes en streg til nu, hvor det anses som en naturlighed – men ikke overalt i verden. Kun igennem formidling af viden og oplysning om disse tilstande kan vi være med til at forbedre andres vilkår.

Vores formål er ikke bare at stable en fest på benene for at fejre os selv, men at rette opmærksomheden på Uganda, hvor homoseksuelle risikerer dødsstraf og udstødelse. Uganda er et af de værste steder i verden at være homoseksuel og homofobien er tydelig både i befolkningen, regeringen og hos de kirkelige overhoveder. Vores udviklingsminister, Christian Friis Bach har op til flere gange påtalt problematikken omkring de homoseksuelles vilkår i Uganda, og for nyligt udtalt at Danmark kan blive nødt til at omdirigere sin store udviklingsbistand til Uganda væk fra regeringen og over til menneskerets- og borgerretsgrupper, hvis landet indfører de vidtgående straffe for homoseksualitet.

Amnesty International Danmark har længe været involveret i kampen mod den diskriminerende lovgivning og støttet den ugandiske gruppe for seksuelle minoriteter SMUG (Sexual Minorities Uganda) i deres kamp for rettigheder. AllRightsCPH vil derfor gerne støtte Amnesty i deres fortsatte kamp mod drakoniske straffe for ”homoseksuel opførsel”. En del af donationen skal øremærkes til kampagnen ”Giv sikkerhed til Uganda”, hvormed man sikrer overfaldsalarmer til udsatte aktivister. Mere om kampagnen findes på Amnestys hjemmeside.
Calling to mind a time where the homosexual club scene seriously made itself seen and heard, but certainly wasn’t fully accepted, KB3 will be transformed into an impressive visual universe of 80s noir and glamour, backed by LIVE acts from some of the current best DJs in Denmark. Nowadays, homosexual culture is luckily seen as a positive and progressive part of the scene, but this is absolutely not the case internationally. We can and must improve the situations of those in other countries who are less fortunate than us through raising awareness and focus on demanding these basic human rights internationally.

Our goal, thus, is not only to host a party where we celebrate our own identity and freedom, but to direct a huge amount of attention towards Uganda, where homosexuals experience extreme discrimination, risking death penalty and exile on a daily basis. The homophobism in Uganda is prevalent throughout massive parts of the population, the government and the religious leadership. The Danish minister of foreign aid, Christian Friis Bach, has several times brought up the difficulty of the Ugandan situation, and has recently pronounced the inevitability that Denmark must consider redirecting the massive amounts of foreign aid away from Uganda’s government, and instead over to human and civil rights groups if the country continues the extreme discrimination against homosexuality.

Amnesty International Denmark has for a long time been involved in the fight against this discriminating legislation, including through their support of the Ugandan civil rights group for sexual minorities SMUG (Sexual Minorities UGanda). AllRightsCPH supports Amnesty fully in their continued fight against the draconic punishment of “homosexual behaviour”. A large part of our donation will be reserved for the campaign “Give Security to Uganda”, which involves distributing an assault-alarm system to the exposed SMUG activists. You can find more information about this campaign at Amnesty’s website.
