Uganda: Stop the "Kill the Gays" Law Now

stfuhomophobes:

UPDATE: 300,000 around the world have already signed this urgent call. Add your voice now to keep up the pressure!

Can you please sign and share this petition demanding that Ugandan President Museveni stop the human rights violations by publicly vowing to veto the “Kill the Gays” bill?

In the next 24 hours, conservative lawmakers could move a bill that would make being LGBT in Uganda a crime punishable by death.

This hateful bill is part of a pattern of the Ugandan government’s violent repression of pro-democracy forces within the country - and time is running out to stop it.

Irish advertisement against homophobic bullying.

Beautiful. 

I love this. I want every student to see this - no matter what age.

Oh my god, this is so tremendously beautiful. Everybody should see this.

Can I just say how genuinely this 4 min advert sends a message instead of a 4 sec ad?

SERIOUSLY, JUST STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WATCH THIS. It’s amazing.

Tears.

This is beautiful.

:3 

I love this.

this..
is truly amazing

So many tears. This is so beautiful, amazing, and beyond words. PLEASE WATCH.

I got chills, this is beautiful <3 !

This made me cry.

Exodus International, an “ex-gay” organisation that subscribes to the rejected notion that being gay is a disorder that can be cured through therapy, has released a “Gay Cure” iPhone app. The application availability didn’t last long, though, after an online petition gathered over 150,000 signatures and caught the attention of Apple, who decided the application did not follow their content guidelines. Yep, there’s no longer an app for that! That’s pretty nifty, but there’s something about Exodus that I think needed even more attention than an iPhone application… Exodus is a registered charity in Canada, enjoying numerous tax benefits for promoting their unscientific and dangerous therapies for “curing” gay people. I started a letter writing campaign back in September to help bring this to the attention of the Canada Revenue Agency, but they’ve stayed silent on the matter for months. That’s no good. To get the CRA’s attention, there’s a brand new petition on the Slap Into Action Page with—as of right now—zero signatures. Let’s bring that number up! If 150,000 people were outraged about the Exodus iPhone app, how many do you think will be upset that Exodus is posing as a charity, reaping tax benefits, and accepting tax-deductable donations from the public? The answer to that question is up to you! Tell your friends to sign the petition, and then get them to to tell theirfriends. Let’s demand more than silence from the Canada Revenue Agency!

Welcome to HU Queer Press and The State of the Gay! We are made up of a variety of queers with varying affiliations with Harding University. The State of the Gay is a self-published zine that aims to give voice to the experiences of gay and lesbian students at Harding. It is part storytelling, part religious and political critique, and partly a manifesto of hope for Harding’s future. The voices enclosed are the unedited and uncensored voices of individuals who are all too familiar with censorship. In truth, there is no single, identifiable goal of this zine other than to put our voices out there. Our aim is that through reading these pages you might become the ones to create the zine&#8217;s ending—to usher in its full political, social, and religious implications. We fully believe in the potential of communities to be free of oppression, hatred, and misunderstanding of queer individuals—will you help us create that reality at Harding and beyond?
