We have to get the attention of the World Press!

I am going to ask for your help Youtube.

I need your help.

I want to a collaboration video; And I need it to get massive.

This is not for me. It's not a vanity exercise. This is literally to spread the word.

If you've been on youtube in the last few hours, then you might have seen videos on the subject of the latest UN vote;

This is your chance youtube. You may think that nothing can really be achieved by youtube speaking out against this travesty of human rights from the people who are supposed to defend it, but this needs to be spoken against. This cannot stand, and I have no intention of letting it stand.

I haven't worked out the details yet. I don't know the logistics, but we need voices. Lots of them. Big voices, like Coughlan616, TheAmazingAtheist, philhellenes... small voices, like me and other similarly bracketed subscriber bases.

This needs to go viral. This needs to be as pure a demonstration of democracy as you can get; This needs to be thousands of voices howling at the top of their lungs against this.

This is religion making and influencing laws. That day we thought wouldn't come is here. Because of religion and who cares which one, if you're gay, or lesbian, or bisexual, or transgender, because of pronouncements in books of fairytales affecting a UN vote, you can be executed for it.

Leave a comment if you're interested or think you can help drum up support or send me a PM.


You could even make your own video, like this and send them my way or... I don't know yet. We'll work it out.


Even if you just want to wish us well, it is appreciated.

2. There is a link at the bottom of my post to a news release that explains
some more of the details. To quote from the article:

"Tens of thousands of readers of The New Civil Rights Movement over the weekend read, “UN General Assembly Votes To Allow Gays To Be Executed Without Cause,” the shocking news about the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural issues vote last week that approved 79 to 70 (17 abstentions and 26 absent) removing “sexual orientation” from a resolution protecting persons from extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. This UN vote reinforced an already very difficult and challenging environment for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and their defenders, who live in continual fear of violent attacks and experience blatant discrimination throughout most countries on the African continent."
