Story of Beheaded Ugandan LGBT Activist A Hoax?

The GLBT site that broke the story in America of a murdered, beheaded Ugandan GLBT equality activist now says that while a murder and beheading did take place, the identity of the victim was deceptively said to be the missing activist--possibly in order to perpetrate fraud, or maybe to discredit gay and lesbian advocates.

The story grew up around a severed head that was discovered in a latrine on a Ugandan farm. The head was thought to belong to the same victim as a dismembered and sexually mutilated torso that was found less than a mile away. Sources in Uganda claimed that the victim had been involved with Integrity Uganda, a LGBT equality organization. According to Box Turtle Bulletin, which broke the story here, several sources abroad--one in the U.K. and two in Uganda--said that the victim was associated with the gay rights group, and at least one report also said that the young man’s head was discovered, together with bloody clothing, in the latrine by searchers looking for a missing cleric.

The clergyman in question, Rev. Henry Kayizzi Nsubuga, had reportedly delivered a pro-gay sermon before vanishing. Reports indicated that Nsubuga may have met a violent fate at the hands of anti-gay vigilantes inflamed by the nation’s observance of Martyrs’ Day, a holiday that commemorates the execution of Christian converts by a Ugandan king, Mwanga II. Modern tellings of the story accuse the Mwanga of having been gay, and the holiday is therefore reputed to be a time of heightened danger for GLBTs in Uganda...

Somebody did die, it just wasn't the LGBT representative. If it turns out they were trying to discredit us, that makes it doubly sick.

How does someone killing an LGBT representative (which they didn't do, I know) discredit us?

If anything it discredits opponents.
