Attend special meeting to support Equal Rights and save lives in Uganda

Please Attend this Meeting to Support Human Rights and Save Lives

Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo who directs Integrity, the LGBT human rights organization in Uganda will be touring the US in May speaking about the alarming legislation that will be up for a vote this fall in Uganda's parliament -- the bill will make homosexuality a crime subject to capital punishment. It will make people who do not report a person they know is homosexual subject to a jail sentence. Bishop Christopher himself has undergone considerable persecution from authorities in Uganda and from his own church for his support of LGBT people in Uganda.

The bishop will be speaking at the Methodist Church in Mission Valley Thursday, May 20, at 7:30 pm to local PFLAG chapters and other humanitarian and human rights groups. Please attend this talk about human rights. Find out what you can do to lend support for LGBT individuals in Uganda and all of Africa.

Bishop Christopher is a PhD and is retired from the Anglican Church. He is straight, married for 46 years, and a father and grandfather. His purpose is to make people in the US aware of the precarious position that LGBT persons in Africa are in regarding the genocidal effects the passage of the bill will unleash. Our show of support for Uganda's gay community may help defeat the proposed bill.
