AU Agenda

Published by Jason Barber on Aug 02, 2009

We, the undersigned, call upon the South African Government, the Department of International Relations, and Ambassadors to SADC/AU states and the UN, to openly and purposefully pursue equal rights for all of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans community across Africa. We feel the following steps will ensure a better life for all homosexual peoples, and so we ask the South African Government to:

1. Put Homophobia/Homosexuality on the South African Development Community's agenda and pressurise the member states, by whatever diplomatic means necessary, into relaxing homophobic laws and embarking on messures to give the LGBT community the freedom afforded to other citizens;

2. Put Homophobia/Homosexuality on the African Union's agenda and pressurise the member states, by whatever diplomatic means necessary, into relaxing homophobic laws and embarking on messures to give the LGBT community the freedom afforded to other citizens;

3. Initiate talks with our allies abroad in order to combat the homophobic laws that terrorise the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community worldwide; and

4. Sign the United Nations declaration decriminalizing Homosexuality.

We ask that the South African government respond to this petition timeously, and to prioritise these issues. The livelihoods of many people rest on your shoulders.
