Uganda's new law, the death penalty for homosexuality.

If you want to stop this you can always show your support here . Personally I'm not going to sign the petition,but I would like to hear your opinion on this matter.

Signed it, I have a gay friend in real life and would I want him killed, no.

It's not his fault.

Why would gay people deserve death? No need to kill someone for liking the same sex, I'm not gonna go kill half the population of the world because they don't favor taco pizza like I do. I just recently made my first gay friend, he is also one of the coolest people I know.

I don't like the idea of the death penalty for homosexuals simply because they can still positively contribute to society. I won't be signing the petition though because the people of Uganda have their own culture which is none of my concern.

Just proves how undeveloped some countries are....

Why do they care who other people have sexual attractions too? It's not their business. I signed the petition, they shouldn't be killed for such a small thing.

i think of the both ways. Uganda is not a developed country, their ideals, their ways of living is still old style showing this stupid act they did. i somehow think this is very political decision.. anyways i support gay people as they're still people, its just the matter of their choice of being who they are.

Gays aren't right but killing them isnt the way to handle it. Maybe just stop them from marrying of something idk. But i'm not signing cause I don't support gays at all.

I signed earlier this week. A friend of mine linked me to it on Facebook.
Why won't you sign the petition? Are you against homosexuality?

 

[Joel_mybb_import15139]

I just signed it then, death penalty is extremely far fetched.
What's next, killing blacks?
Black Guy: I don't want to die!
Idiot: Too bad, you were born that way.

It's done.

Great news -- the bill has has been shelved! Together, we've won a major fight for equality and justice. Over 1.6 million of us signed the petition opposing the anti-gay bill, tens of thousands of us called our heads of state, and we helped make the attack on gay rights in Uganda a major international news story -- and it worked.

Today, under intense global pressure, the Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament blocked the anti-gay bill from coming to a vote in the emergency session. Now Parliament has closed and the bill has been wiped from the books. It's not necessarily gone for good, but to be considered again, it would have to be reintroduced as a new bill and go through the whole Parliamentary process -- which took 18 months last time.

Our global outcry made it clear that the world is watching, and demanding that human rights be respected everywhere. Today, we can join activists in Uganda in celebration of a victory that could save thousands of lives.
