This Needs to Stop!! #NOH8

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @thtrnerd221

I know that I was just recently on this soapbox, but because Jen has opened up this awesome site to me as a medium to share my message of equality to all, I thought I would share this with you all.

I just saw a tweet from @NOH8Campaign about an article that ran in an Ugandan tabloid about the 100 "top homos". It gave their names and adresses and called for them to be hanged. I know this didn't happen in the US, but why should anyone anywhere stand for this. I make a pretty good assumption that the tabloid was pressured by the government to run that article, but still. No one should have to live in fear of persecution. Here's a link to a description of what was in the article.

I earge all of you if you hear anything like this, no matter whatn your personal feeling on homosexuality are, try to stop it. It's easy to shrug things off when they don't happen in your own community. I understand that, but if you can change the hearts and minds of those around you, you can change the world.

Thanks for reading,

Brooke (aka @thtrnerd221)
