Rescue Fund to Help LGBT People Escape Africa

As we've all heard, a law is about to be passed with serious consequences for homosexuals in Uganda. And there are many other countries in Africa where homosexuality is criminalized. I found a website where someone is starting a fund to help a limited number of people who are seeking asylum in other countries:

Please spread the word. This is something concrete we can do to help.

To send this to the greatest. What is going on over there is a travesty. If we aren't vigilant, it will happen here.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
