Stop the hate, stop the fear and prejudice, the deaths and torture and harassment of millions of people in an era in which we should be celebrating diversity, equality, love and friendship across all boundaries, and an age where nobody should be hounded for who they are and how we live, love and fulfill our dreams LGBTI people are just as important as all people so let’s not slip into the dark ages again … They think theyre winning. They see the new anti-gay laws in Nigeria, Uganda, and Russia and are satisfied at a job well done. Meanwhile in Russia, teenagers are hunted down and tortured on video. In Nigeria, gay men are whipped bloody in courtrooms then thrown in jail. In Uganda, people wait for police to hammer on the door, knowing they could face life in prison. These groups are fighting for hate on a huge scale – can you be one of the All Out members to make it a fair fight? Please donate to help us get to $100,000: https://allout.org/fight-for-love So what can All Out members do to fight back? We can make it much harder for them to operate by calling out businesses who offer them services, like internet fundraising sites – like when we got Expedia and Delta Airlines to cut ties with hate group Christian Values Network. Where they are spreading dangerous messages we can spread powerful, positive stories, and support local activists to do the same. The bigger and better funded All Out is, the louder we can be – taking up more space in the media and keeping journalists informed. About 1% of All Out members have actually donated since we got started – and those donations got Oranges ads pulled from an anti-gay tabloid in Uganda, stopped gay cures being legalised in Brazil, and put Russias anti-gay law under the global spotlight. Because were super-efficient and low bureaucracy, we dont need huge numbers – but we do need to all step up now. Can you?
