This is religious fundamentalism at its worst - if we can help stop a government passing an insane law that will sentence gay people to death just by signing a petition, we should.

This is what it says:

To President Museveni of Uganda, Members of the Review Committee, Parliament, and donor governments:

We stand with citizens across Uganda who are calling on their government to withdraw the Anti-Homosexual Bill, and to protect the universal human rights embodied in the Ugandan constitution. We urge Uganda’s leaders and donors to join us in rejecting persecution and upholding values of justice and tolerance.
No get over there and sign, please!

:((

And the even sadder thing is that I doubt signatures on a paper will change anything. That law was already passed in 2009 and, in a country where so many basic human rights are disregarded and disrespected, I fear that this one too will go on.

I just cannot understand any person who thinks that it is right and just to kill someone for loving the 'wrong' sex. What harm does it do anyone else if two women or two men love each other? It is not an infectious disease that is somehow going to spread and threaten the future of mankind - it's just love.

I just checked and it looks like their website is down. None of the links I had are working. :-(
