By Tim Trent (Bracknell, UK) Dec 19 | I have no idea how to do this I'm sure you have no idea how to do this either. But what we can do, each of us, is to pass the idea to our nearest and dearest, to our friends, our acquaintances, our colleagues. Being killed by the state for being black skinned is unacceptable globally.
Being killed by the state for being homosexual is acceptable in some nations.
It is time this was stopped and these nations, powerful nations, were brought to heel in the international formal forums of the world. Uganda is but the fuse that has been lit. Yes, Uganda matters, but not as much as stopping what can only be called Homosexual Genocide in these uncivilised nations.
I've been watching a few commentators saying that "The west should stay out of other cultures" over the Ugandan appalling law giving homosexuals the death penalty. Should it?Just why is that?
What makes these misguided nations and all others where Human Rights are trampled underfoot so sacred? "Oil" is not the right answer. The right answer is NOTHING.
First The League of Nations, then The United Nations, were set up in part to deal with nations who commit atrocities. And murdering someone because of their sexual orientation is as bad as murdering a Jew or an Arab.
It's time we grew up, and let these rogue nations know. It's time to stop kowtowing to them and being afraid of offending them.
How do we do that?
So help me, please. I don't know how to do this, but the six degrees of separation between each of us and someone who has the resources, the knowledge, the balls to start to make this happen mean that all we have to do is to pass the message on.
Somewhere is a resourceful man or woman who knows how to do this, knows how to start the engine, knows how to make this catch the public gaze.
This is not a petition thing, though petitions may be a part of it. But to whom does one address a petition? So please, simply start by using Twitter, by using Facebook, by using social networking and starting to make this happen.
We are all one voice each. Together we are unstoppable.
I am sending this to all in my personal address book and all people that I know. I am using Twitter, Facebook and all other social media I'm a member of. Please do the same. The url of the place this starts for me is here, please include it: http://tinyurl.com/yjfk3g8 Let's start 2010 with this task!
