who the fuck wants to live there any way

 

uhh...the people born into the country that can't afford to leave or for whom it is too difficult to escape.

if that's really your only response to this i'm fucking god damn appalled- have a heart for the people suffering in a world far away from the practically care-free life you probably live.

how hard is it to support the rights of all humans everywhere???? ESPECIALLY in this case, when all they are requesting is a signature!!!

 

signed it and spread the word. thanks for posting this man.

 

HELL YEAH!! good for you :2thumbsup:

you are welcome, thanks for spreading the word :sunny:

 

I signed as well... Guess I'm a little late... but better late than never.

Looks like the bill failed yet again but still poses a threat.

Update: May 13 2011
Great news -- the bill has has been shelved! Together, we've won a major fight for equality and justice. Over 1.6 million of us signed the petition opposing the anti-gay bill, tens of thousands of us called our heads of state, and we helped make the attack on gay rights in Uganda a major international news story -- and it worked.

Today, under intense global pressure, the Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament blocked the anti-gay bill from coming to a vote in the emergency session. Now Parliament has closed and the bill has been wiped from the books. It's not necessarily gone for good, but to be considered again, it would have to be reintroduced as a new bill and go through the whole Parliamentary process -- which took 18 months last time.

 

It not my country so it's not my business

I think its good it didnt pass though

 

Rich Americas funded the bill; that's basically your country =P

 

I think I read that this got thrown out of parliament today, so I don't reckon they'll go through with it.
