450,000 signatures to Stop the Anti-Gay Ugandan Bill



Civil rights activists are sending Uganda a message: Don't Pass the Anti-Gay Bill!

The online petition was organised by campaign group Avaaz, which hopes to eventually garner one million signatures.

It was delivered to Uganda’s parliament in Kampala this morning by a delegation led by Anglican priest Canon Gideon Byamugisha.

The petition was accompanied by a letter asking parliament to reject the controversial bill and instead pass legislation to protect gay people.

Over 450, 000 almost half a million signatures were collected in this petition. The organization is called Avaaz, please check out their site
