I received a plea from a straight friend to sign a petition to President Mussaveni to put a hold on legislation which, if it goes ahead, will be a literal death sentence for gays. It is being pushed by Christians in the parliament of that country.
All the information is at the link I give below.
I appeal to anyone with even the minimum amount of compassion for their fellow human beings to sign the petition and in this way to contribute to the pressure on the Ugandans to behave justly towards their own citizens, who just happen to be gay.
(They are also looking for funds. I neither support nor oppose this. Each one must make their own decision on that element. If supporting, check to your satisfaction that all is above board. Sadly African 'schemes/scams' have made me leery. So be careful! However, my reservation still does not negative the need to put pressure on Uganda.)

This is my first time to start a thread, so I hope I have not trawnsgressed any rules and that this is the right place to post this. If not please re-assign it to the proper forum.
