Can we help out in Africa?

[princealbertofb]

There's another online petition to save people in African gay couples or partnerships from being discriminated against, or punished by law... Please sign it if you feel in the slightest bit concerned... We can make a difference.

Actually this probably also benefits single gay people, who might be harrassed for their (perceived?) sexual orientation.

Something similar is happening in a couple other African countries except anyone caught in the act or accused of being gay will recieve life in prison or death row. and most of it started because a group of good ol' American missionaries decied to spread the word of the "gay agenda" to some African countries and was taken seriously and literally so now most African countries believe that all gay people want to rape their children and spread gay everywhere :mad:

I signed the petition for Uganda and the petition for nigeria - but I have no hope that it helps in any kind ... the comments from all over the world are very nice - but thats not enough. What we need is a working help to escape from this countrys.
The worth of online-petitions you can see if you look on the anti-death-penalty-petitions against US-laws : It helps NOTHING ..
The knowledge of crimes against humans rights makes no sense if nobody helps real. Actually we have a lot of country with death penalty for homosexual people... followed by a bunch of country with lifelong detention. In Iran they kill 14 - 16 year old boys....

And the world says nothing .... that reminds me at the Ship "St. Louis", where 930 jews escaped from Nazi-Germany in 1939.... and all countrys did not let them ashore, they had to go back to Nazi-Germany and many of them died in concentration camps ( it was much easier after WW2 to tell that nobody knows whats going on in nazi-germany... )

What we need are secure places for victims of persecution... like the underground-railroad for slaves in the US before the civil war in the USA...

If someone needs help ... I can offer 2 places at my own home.... I think that is the only way that helps real
