I'll be leaving in an hour or so and I won't be back until 7th or so of January. In the meantime :)
I got this email from Care2 that I think is something the fandom should participate in. I know it sounds ridiculous, signing petitions, but from what I've seen these guys really make stuff happen sometimes.
Hi Andrea,
There is a dangerous proposal that threatens the human rights of LGBT people in Uganda. If passed, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill would start a witch-hunt for homosexuals in the country.
Tell Uganda's President Museveni that people should not be criminalized for sexual orientation or gender identity. » The bill's punishments include:
- a life sentence for people in same-sex marriages
- jail for anyone who doesn't report suspected LGBT activity within 24 hours
- extradition and prosecution of LGBT Ugandans living abroad
The bill also endangers HIV/AIDS programs, and may be exploited by those wanting to abolish these programs.
This proposed legislation is anti-ethical, anti-equality and anti-human rights. President Museveni must denouce and oppose this law.
Act now! » And with that... I wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful New Year. *hugs*
