Sign the Uganda Declaration for LGBT human rights

The Uganda Declaration has been created by a coalition of organizations in support of LGBT human rights.

The Declaration reads:

"As faith leaders from many traditions, we, the undersigned, commit ourselves to:

• Pray for God's peace between all nations, peoples, traditions and cultures and all the diversity of God's creation;
• Teach the simple spiritual truth that loving, not hating or harming our neighbors, is the will of God in all things, including for people living with HIV/AIDS and people who are sexual minorities;
• Apply existing statements on human rights in our own faith traditions to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in policies and programs, in congregations, national and global agencies and partner groups;
• Advocate for the elimination of all laws which criminalize people based on sexual orientation or gender identity;
• Push for prosecution of crimes committed because of perceived sexual orientation or gender identity."

Take the testimonial:

I am signing the “Uganda Declaration” because 80 countries criminalize people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity—and 7 of those countries include the death penalty. As a person of faith, I believe it is time to apply human rights to everyone and work to eliminate imprisonment, execution and persecution of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people.
