The vote on the anti-gay bill did not take place!All Out members around the world amplified the voice of Russian activists, forcing world leaders to speak out against this law that justifies hate and discrimination.Polina, Sasha and our other friends in Russia remain hopeful, but the fight is far from over. The bill may still come back - and if it does, we'll be ready.Unfortunately there's no time to celebrate. The Nigerian Senate has just followed Russia's bad example, passing a bill this week which would make it illegal to publicly support LGBT rights. Simply showing up to a gay bar could land you in jail for 14 years, regardless of your sexuality. Enough is enough: www.allout.org/nigeriaBefore the bill passes, it has to be signed by President Goodluck Jonathan. As a powerful African nation, Nigeria cares strongly about its international reputation and a global outcry will make President Jonathan think twice about voting this into law.This Monday, the Nigerian government will be attending an important United Nations meeting in New York City. Our friend Ife and other Nigerian activists will march to the UN and call on the government to abandon the legislation. Will you take one moment to show your support - we'll deliver your signature in person and put real pressure on the Nigerian government: www.allout.org/nigeriaNigeria is already an incredibly dangerous place to be lesbian, gay, bi or trans. This piece of legislation will only further push theNigerian LGBT community deep underground.Nigeria's president recently posted on his Facebook page: "When I assumed the mantle of leadership of Nigeria … one of my personal decisions was to prioritize education (being a teacher myself) and the welfare of the Nigerian people (health, the economy and energy security)." That’s an irony in itself, for this terrible, bigoted bill threatensto set Nigeria back - especially in regards to health and HIV/AIDS. By further criminalizing homosexuality, Nigeria's effort to control its HIV/AIDS pandemic - one of the most dire in the world - is under serious threat.Our friend Ife and dozens of other Nigerian activists will deliverthis letter directly to the Nigerian government next week - at a major UN meeting in New York City. Ife and his friends ARE NOT ILLEGAL. Stand with Ife by signing urgent letter and sharing with your friends: www.allout.org/nigeriaThanks for going All Out,Andre, Emmy, Erika, Flavia, Guillaume, Jeremy, Joseph, Nita, Oli, Tile, Wesley and the rest of the team at All OutSOURCES:Nigeria Senate approves bill banning gay marriage, groups in Africa’s most populous nationwww.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/nigeria-senate-approves-bill-banning-gay-marriage-in-africas-most-populous-nation/2011/11/29/gIQA5yc87N_story.htmlNigerian senate passes anti-gay bill, defying British aid threatwww.edition.cnn.com/2011/11/30/world/africa/africa-gay-rights/?hpt=wo_c2Nigeria: ‘Same Gender’ Marriage Ban Would Attack Rights.
