DJ Scott Mills traveled to Uganda for a BBC on being gay in that country— routinely cited as one of (if not the least) tolerant places in the world.

The “ritual” consisted of having a live chicken rubbed over Mills’ back, then having a flame extinguished over his head. It didn’t appear that he was taking it too seriously.
