Stop Gay Death Law in Uganda

[ar_wahan]

Got this from Spart, and it seems legit:

A bill in the Ugandan parliament proposes life imprisonment for anyone convicted of having same-sex relations and imposes the death penalty for "serial offenders." NGO employees working to prevent the spread of HIV could be imprisoned for up to 7 years for "promoting homosexuality." Even members of the public face up to three years in jail if they fail to report homosexual activity to the police within 24 hours!

The bill had been delayed because of some initial international criticism. But after a well-funded and vicious lobbying effort by extremists, it now looks set to be passed -- threatening widespread persecution and bloodshed.

With the decision expected in days, only an irresistible wave of worldwide pressure will be enough to save the lives of gay people in Uganda.

I just signed a new international petition to stop the gay death law. Will you join in?

I thinks its just another way Government is using the laws to kill off their own people. Evil is working overtime in killing off the meek and loving. It's not Gay that they are attacking, they are attacking human beings, using fear and punishment. Just like the Nazi's in Adolf Hitler's reign of terror, he could not do it himself, but had many that supported what he had done and society stood by, supporting, and putting into action mass murder, persecution, and the undermining of Mankind and their connection with Hope and Love.

The female castrations that continue, now Gays or the punishment of society against strong opinions. South Africa is turning into Germany before our very eyes. This does not include the massacre's of tribes because one was tall and thin, and sang, versus the short and muscular. The hate that has been brimming and bubbling, corrupting and displacing any Hope and Love this continent has in Mankind is being shredded and destroyed before the worlds eyes.

South Africa has committed many crimes against Mankind and they should be seen as crimes and not a governmental mandate on certain rights. It is just another crime put upon its people.
