!!!!!!!!PLEASE HELP TO SPREAD THIS!!!!!!
Gay men in Russia are being rounded up and put into concentration camps. I’m so beyond upset and I’m asking you to help spread this information in hopes that it will bring this disgustingly horrible situation more media attention and put additional pressure on Russia to investigate these camps and shut them down.
There is a petition to stop the persecution here and the Russian LGBT Network has a donation page here (it looks pretty legit to me and is associated with a Facebook page with 12,000+ followers, but if anyone can find more information confirming the validity of it that would be beyond appreciated.)
These men are all the way across the world but they’re part of my community and they need our help. They don’t have the same luxuries (basic human rights) that we do and they are in desperate need for us to help speak up for them.
You can read the full article here or google the topic for more information. Please.
This doesn’t have nearly enough notes, PLEASE SPREAD AWARENESS OF THIS
I included the petition as a means to help draw attention to the matter with quantitative results, but I realize that sending messages directly to your government representatives is probably a more effective way to gain legitimate results.
I’ve drafted this email which you can copy and paste and send to your government representatives. You can find out who your representatives are and their contact info at commoncause.org (that link will take you right to the search page)
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all
I rarely reblog things but this is important.
