The United States should halt all funds to Uganda until the recent anti-gay legislation they passed is repealed.

Created by E.F. on February 24, 2014

This petition is to demand all aid and funds under any other title being sent to Uganda from the United States be halted until the law that was passed on 2/24/14, which makes it legal to imprison gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders in the country of Uganda up to life. This is a barbaric law that violates human rights. As we've seen around the world laws like this, embolden people to physically attack and otherwise harm GLBT's. This law creates a hostile environment for GLBT's by the government of Uganda and vigilante groups. The United States should in no way fund countries that discriminate against or endanger the lives of any group.
