I am as gay as a peacock - Julie Mutesasira

Former Gospel singer Julie Nalujya, famously known as Julie Mutesasira, has proudly come out as a lesbian and is now officially as a gay as a goose.

In love and proud

Julie spoke about her gayness during Canada’s “Got Talent show” where her two children, Esther and Ezekiel Mutesasira, sang their behinds off to advance to the next round. The siblings, who have angelic voices, are the reigning champions of East Africa's Got Talent.

After their knockout performance, the ex-wife to Pastor Steven Mutesasira confessed: "I decided to leave Uganda because I came out.. because of my security! Being a gay woman in Uganda and married to a pastor is an abomination.”

In 2016, she divorced her husband and fled to Canada and in 2020, photos of her tying the knot with a fellow woman spread like a brush-fire on social media.
