Default More on Uganda

Friends,

Here's a link to an article at Talk2Action.com

http://www.talk2action.org/story/2007/8/25/3390/83947

This article contains many other useful links.

One interesting article that the above article links to points out that Uganda used to be a success story in AIDS prevention until the Bush administration pushed the unscientific idea of "abstinence only" on the country with the aid of some of their own home-groan "evangelicals."

The other important piece of information contained in this story is the fact that African LGBT people are actively seeking equality. Again, I feel we need to become more informed and supportive of their struggles. The struggle for human rights and LGBT equality are international struggles that do not know borders. By the same token, our adversaries here in the U.S. also are involved in promoting oppression of LGBT people abroad.
