Sent: 14 December 2009 11:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: FW: Proposed Ugandan law - petition You may have heard, a bill is being introduced in the Ugandan parliament to raise penalties for being gay, including the death penalty under some circumstances. It will even be a crime, punishable by imprisonment, not to report to the authorities that someone is gay. No 10 has let it be known that Gordon Brown has protested to the Ugandan Government about this, but the more pressure brought to bear, the better. So please sign this petition to No.10: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ugandangays For more details see: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov/29/uganda-death-sentence-gay-sex Please add your name to mine on the petition and send this on to other folk. ________________________________ Scanned by iCritical.
