A week ago, when over 500,000 of you from 190 countries around the world joined with All Out to oppose the hateful “Kill the Gays” bill in Uganda, we got a glimpse of just how powerful our global movement can be. Thank you for being a part of it.
You’re part of a historic struggle to build a world in which nobody has to live in fear and shame for being who they are. To make that possible, we’re building an unprecedented alliance between lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and their straight friends and family in every corner of the world. We’ve already seen that change can happen at an incredible pace when we come together — in India, Argentina, Iceland, Brazil and beyond. And we’re just getting started.
Together, straight and LGBT, we can push this change further, faster.
When All Out launched an urgent action campaign against the notorious Anti-Homosexuality bill in Uganda, it quickly went viral— and in less than four days over 500,000 people from 190 countries had signed on to the campaign. Thousands of us called world leaders, asking them to speak out against the bill. Thanks to a groundswell of international pressure that we helped catalyze with our global partners, the bill was abandoned by parliament on Friday May 13. Ugandan politicians and analysts cited our international outcry as a key factor for dropping the bill.
