The "Why Are You Gay?" interview is a widely known viral clip originating from a 2012 Ugandan TV show called Morning Breeze. The interview features Ugandan journalist Simon Kaggwa Njala interviewing LGBTQ activist Pepe Julian Onziema, a trans man. The exchange is notable for Njala's repeatedly blunt and confused questioning, including the now-infamous opening line, "Why are you gay?" Onziema is asked "Why are you gay?" despite initially clarifying that he is transgender and not gay. The interview touches on topics like gender identity, sexual orientation, societal views on LGBTQ people in Uganda, and Onziema's personal experiences as a trans man. Njala insists on labeling Onziema as gay even though Onziema explains his male gender identity and attraction to women. The interview became a meme on the internet because of the awkwardness and Njala's persistent confused questioning, which also symbolized broader societal misunderstandings and toxic attitudes toward LGBTQ people in some cultures. In the interview, Onziema explains that being transgender is about identity and expression, and being gay means attraction to the same sex. He also advocates for human rights beyond just "gay rights." The interview highlights challenges LGBTQ people face in societies with rigid gender norms and stigmas. It has since been widely discussed for its mix of humor, social commentary, and as an example of media treatment of LGBTQ issues in Uganda.
