Hello Bloggers.
You may or may not have heard of a website called AllOut. This fantastic charity is working towards saving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people all across the world. With the aid of people from every corner of the globe, they have already successfully petitioned to stop a bill in Uganda that would make being gay a crime punishable by death. AllOut stopped it, and still they fight for the safety and equality of LGBT people everywhere.
They need your help. Their latest cause involves a gay aslyum seeker named Eddy. The following is taken directly from the AllOut website:
Stop the Deportation of LGBT Asylum Seeker Eddy Cosmas!
Edson "Eddy" Cosmas, a gay rights activist, is facing imminent deportation from the UK back to his native Tanzania—where being gay is punishable by life imprisonment, and gay and lesbian activists have been arrested and detained as part of a recent crackdown.
Eddy needs your urgent solidarity now. Please ask Home Secretary Theresa May to halt Eddy’s deportation, and promise to reform the "fast track" policy that unfairly targets LGBT asylum seekers like him. We'll deliver your letters directly to the Home Secretary.
Please help these people. They work hard to save lives and you can help them. You don't even have to donate - all you have to do is go to their website and sign up. With enough help, YOU can help save the lives of people across the world. Would you like to be thrown in prison just because you love someone? Should this kind of thing even be happening in this day and age? Should you stand there and wait as people around the world are suffering just because they're a lesbian, or gay, or bisexual, or transgender?

Please sign up if you're interested in helping. It won't take long, it won't cost you a penny and all of the information you provide will be protected by AllOut.
Thank you for your time.
