Hi everyone!
This month, we’re kicking off with the fundraising campaign donate@gays.com for an LGBT organization we think deserves your support!
Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) is a group of courageous gay rights defenders who are on the frontline of the battle against a proposed legislation now known as the “Kill-the-Gays Bill”. These activists are forced to move from place to place because of the hostility and threats they are receiving. Yet they continue to soldier on, persistent in their ideals to advance and advocate the legal rights of the LGBT community.
Our goal for this campaign is a very modest US$1,000 — but we hope we’ll be surprised by your support! Now is the time for us to stand behind our brothers and sisters in Uganda in solidarity. Donate just a dollar if you don’t have much, or the cost of a cocktail on a night out — no matter what you contribute, every cent will go a long way in making a difference for our Ugandan friends.
Watch this space for an interview with Frank Mugisha, chairman of SMUG. In the meantime, please support SMUG by joining their group page and click on the “ChipIn” button to donate via Paypal!
Help us make a difference!
