I got this in the mail and felt moved to share this...this is aweful and so depressing about Uganda

Dear friends,Debate is raging in Uganda on the proposal to execute gay people and jail their friends. We can't let extremists drown out voices of reason -- donate now for opinion polls and ads showing Ugandans choose human rights over violent extremism:Donate Now!Almost half of a million of us have joined the fight against Uganda's terrifying law to execute gay people and imprison their friends and family.Extremists are responding by flooding Ugandan airwaves with claims that gay people habitually rape children.But most Ugandans support human rights, and don't know the facts about this bill. No public opinion poll has asked whether they would support such mass execution.As parliament considers the bill, we urgently need to support Ugandan rights groups to run an opinion poll, radio ads and billboards that reach millions of Ugandans with the truth and a powerful, human call to save innocent lives. Ads are cheap in Uganda, so a small donation goes a long way -- click below to chip in:https://secure.avaaz.org/en/ugandan_voices_3/?vlWhile homophobia is widespread in Uganda, as in much of the world, so is a belief in basic human rights -- and this bill is, at heart, an assault on human rights.The fundamental belief that every life is equally precious, regardless of nation, creed, or sexual orientation, is at the heart of the opposition to this bill. It's what has led hundreds of thousands of us to sign the petition -- which has been sent to Ugandan and donor governments, and will be presented to the Speaker of Parliament in Uganda next week. And it's what has united the church leaders, gay groups, and human rights advocates in Uganda to join together for justice.The Ugandans at the front lines of this struggle are ready to do all they can. Our support -- resources that cost us very little -- can make all the difference in the world to them. Donate here:https://secure.avaaz.org/en/ugandan_voices_3/?vlLet's rise to this moment, and make their cause our own.With hope,Ricken, Alice, Ben, David, Paula, Benjamin and the whole Avaaz teamPS: Read the actual law here:http://www.avaaz.org/death-lawRead more about the proposed law here:http://www.avaaz.org/uganda_articleIf you haven't already, sign the petition against the law at this link:http://www.avaaz.org/en/uganda_rights/?frWant to support Avaaz?

sadly, i don't think donations or petitions are going to do a damn thing.. when ignorance is that great anyone can be the victim, if not the gays, then the voodoo priests or women, or this tribe or that. fanatics are insane people who themselves are poisoned by something much larger. Change has to come from the inside. Here in the US there's a bitter fight whether gay people can marry and be respected socially and legally as partners.. Hollywood is the gayest place on Earth and also the biggest bunch of homophobes and hypocrites. There are no positive gay role models for young people to look up to. It is insidiously programmed into the collective psyche that gay is bad and must be hidden. The result, gay bashing happens every day, very often police do lots of nasty things with their authority and get away with it. If the giant global scandal in the face of roman catholicism raping altar boys isn't enough to implicate their holier than thou hypocrisy then people just chose not to see. It hurts me deeply.
