UGANDA: RIGHTS NOT REPRESSION (As at Thurs 11 Feb 2010)

 

Gay Ugandans may be sentenced to death if legislation being debated right now passes.

High level international condemnation has just pushed the President to send the bill for review, but Ugandan allies say only a worldwide outcry could tip Parliamentarians away from discrimination, alarming them with global isolation.

We have just days left - sign the petition to oppose Uganda's anti-gay law below and send it on to friends and family and it will be delivered to Uganda's politicians, donors and embassies around the world.

INACTION IS UNACCEPTABLE: REMOVE ADOPTION DISCRIMINATION NOW

LAW REFORM:
EQUAL RIGHTS = EQUAL RIGHTS TO MARRIAGE
LOVE DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE • NEITHER SHOULD THE LAW

 

Worth following up: equallove.info

The National Day of Action is the culmination of the Equal Love campaign's on-line advertising campaign in favour of same sex marriage.

The campaign consists of five ads which can be seen on YouTube and on equallove.info The ads are based on the PC versus Mac commercials. They depict professional actors playing the characters ‘equality’ versus the ‘Australian Government’.

"We believe that all Australians should have the right to marry, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity," Virgo said.

"Together we can and must convince our politicians that bigotry has no place in contemporary Australia."

PETITION

 

IDAHO

IDAHO is the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia

Although IDAHO has been celebration for another year, if you have not already done so, you and your family and friends can still continue to sign this petition started by Louis Georges Tin.

IDAHO was founded by Louis Georges Tin in 2005. Campaigns and Inititives take place on or around May 17th every year to combat prejudice against LGBT people. May 17th is chosen because it marks the anniversary of the day in 1990 when the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from its list of mental diseases.

IDAHO is needed because: 86 member states of the United Nations still criminalise consensual same sex among adults. Among these 7 have legal provisions with the death penalty as punishment. In addition, there are 6 provinces or territorial units which also punish homsexuality with imprisonment.

To be proactive and change the world "A day at a time" and encourage all United Nation countries to embrace all human rights for all:

Subject: Stop Uganda's gay death law


Hi,

I've just signed a petition calling on the Ugandan government to withdraw a proposed anti-gay law that would punish gay people with prison -- or even death.

There are only a few days left. Please sign the petition below -- it will be delivered to Uganda's president and to Ugandan embassies and consulates around the world:
