"i don't mean to bug ya,"...it's my fav bono stage jabber from rattle and hum - so bono-esque...
and here's my point...in the u.s. conservatives have been using the same-sex marriage initiative to drive voter turnout, playing up homophobia and aggressively promoting sexual orientation discrimination - this is one aspect of an active anti-human rights agenda and is something that we in amnesty international oppose ... no one should suffer discrimination and be disenfranchised from their rights based on sexual orientation (i'll set aside the hypocrisy of this "movement" for another day)...
but it's worldwide - not just here in the united states...
on september 8, the ugandan newspaper red pepper published a list of 13 women they claim are lesbians...homosexuality is a criminal offence in uganda, and amnesty international believes that making such allegations against these women may put them in danger...the article called for people to name other women suspected of being lesbians in order to ''rid our motherland of the deadly vice,"...
click here to call on the president of uganda to ensure that incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence against lesbians and gay men is forbidden...
peace out <3
