PETITION SITE - Don't Give "Kill the Gays" Bill as a Christmas Gift! Nov 24, 2012

"Uganda's Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, wants the "Kill the Gays" Bill to be voted on as early as this week. She wants the bill to be passed before the end of the year as a "Christmas gift" to the people, and doesn't care about Western countries threatening to remove aid if it does indeed pass. This bill is very extreme, and calls for the death penalty for being arrested for being gay or committing an "illegal sex act".

"Aggravated homosexuality" can also lead to the death penalty. People are charged with this when multiple violations happen, which can include actions such as renting a room to a gay person, donating to a gay cause, fighting for gay rights (even if it's just through the internet) or not reporting a gay person to law enforcement. Straight individuals can be charged with these offenses as well.

Please tell Rebecca Kadaga not to give this bill as a Christmas gift -- no one deserves to die just for being who they are, or for supporting this. "
