Tell Sen. Grassley to denounce Anti-Homosexuality Bill

A vote is imminent in the Ugandan parliament on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a horrifying piece of legislation that would make gays and lesbians subject to lifetime imprisonment or even execution.

The Family, a fundamentalist group of powerful politicians in America and abroad has ties to Uganda legislators pushing this horrific affront to human rights. Our very own Senator Grassley is a member of this so-called "Family".

Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, tells NPR that Grassley "has been very involved in African affairs on behalf of The Family." With lives at stake, demand Senator Grassley denounce this bill and use his influence to stop the Uganda legislation.

Send a message to Sen. Grassley that his silence on this affront to human rights is nothing short of criminal. It's time for Grassley to publicly denounce the bill and use his influence in Africa to stop the legislation!

A vote is imminent in the Ugandan parliament on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, a horrifying piece of legislation that would make gays and lesbians subject to lifetime imprisonment or even execution. The Ugandan leaders of the Christian organization known as The Family or The Fellowship are known to be actively supporting this bill.

As a member of The Family in the U.S., we ask you to publicly denounce this violation of basic human rights, and call on the Ugandan government and The Family to actively oppose any attempt to criminalize same-sex behavior between consenting adults.

As a member of Congress, you are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time to live up to the values of freedom and justice enshrined in that document and protect the rights and dignity of all people at home and abroad.
