It's looking likely that a law will be passed in Uganda which will mean gay and lesbian people can be put to death, for not being hetrosexual.

If enough people voice thier objection to this, there could be a presidential veto.

My mind is boggled, please sign.

Thanks,

I was under the impression the president was pretty keen on the idea, so I wouldn't bet on it.

It's not just Uganda.

93 nations in the world still legally punish homosexuality. In 7 of these - Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Nigeria, Mauritania - gays and lesbians are punished with the death penalty.

Although, in some of those 93 nations it's only the males that are punished, females can do what they like legally.

What a lovely world we live in.
