Ugandan Gay Rights Activist John Abadallah Wambere seeks Asylum in the U.S.


Ugandan gay-rights activist John Abdallah Wambere fears for his life!

During his speaking tour, John hopes he can get asylum here in the U.S. He wants to escape the new and terrifying anti-gay law in his country. Right now, John lives in Cambridge, Mass., but he will have to return to Uganda very soon. He doesn't want to leave his community behind, but it has become too dangerous there.

John will be able to stay here as his request for asylum is pending, but according to the process, he won't be able to work. The process generally takes about than 60 days.

I wish him luck.
