In less than 24 hours, Uganda votes on a bill that will make homosexuality a crime punishable by life in prison and even DEATH.
I don't care what your views on gay marriage are, because that is not the issue.
The issue is that being gay is not a crime, and certainly not one punishable by death.
This is persecution, an attempt to rid the country of homosexuals.
It is hate, and it is unacceptable.
Falling in love, no matter who its with, is a beautiful thing, not a crime deserving of the death penalty.
Please take action by clicking HERE. It takes less than 30 seconds.
TELL UGANDA THAT THE WORLD IS WATCHING
AND WE WILL NOT BE SILENT.
Four months. Two countries. One incredible adventure.
"We do not need magic to change the world, for we carry all the power
we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."

Its Better to Light a Candle than to Curse the Dark...
They say its better to like a candle than to curse the dark.
In the eyes of the youth there are question marks.
Like freedom, freedom for the mind and soul,
we don't see them, see them for their worth at all.
That's why we lead 'em, lead 'em to these wars
and what it is we feed 'em, feed 'em our impurities.
And who it is we treat 'em, treat 'em like the enemy.
Humanity will need 'em, need 'em like the blood we spill.
We're freedom, freedom for the hearts we fill, we mislead 'em.
They hunger for the love we give but we cheat 'em.
The guys beat him and all he wants is his freedom.
So they defeat him, whatever spirit he's got beat him.
And they teach him the rest of the world don't need him
and he believes in the disease that he's heathen.
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom.
