I was gutted recently when I learned of the brutal murder of the Kenyan LGBTQIA activist, designer, & model, Edwin Chiloba. May he be remembered as someone who brought beauty into this world & may his killers be remembered as those who cut that beauty short. To help keep his memory alive in my small way, here is the first movement of a saxophone quartet I have begun in his name. #EdwinChiloba #lgbtqia #activist #Kenya #hatecrime #music #saxophone #quartet

Hass gegen queere Menschen und Menschen, die sich für LGBTIQ-Rechte einsetzen ist weltweit verbreitet und immer wieder tödlich.
RIP #EdwinChiloba

“In Kenia, in het oosten van Afrika, onderzoekt de politie de dood van modeontwerper en LGBTQIA+-activist Edwin Chiloba. Zijn lichaam werd aangetroffen in een metalen kist langs de weg. Homoseksualiteit is strafbaar in Kenia en activisten zijn er geregeld slachtoffer van intimidatie en geweld.”

#RIP Edwin Chiloba. It makes me so sad to read about your death. Yet again someone murdered who had so much to give to the world. It makes me angry that these news stories don't surprise me. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-64184372 #LGBTQ #EdwinChiloba #Homophobia #Kenya #LGBTQmurder #Heteronormativity
Every time I see reports like this I can’t help but think we are being #hunted simply because we are #lgbtq
I’ll admit I am not familiar with #EdwinChiloba but I am extremely saddened that I won’t get the opportunity now that he has been #unalived
Please stop #terrorizing us for simply being ourselves. We just want to live and be happy.
