Offer asylum to all LGBTQ+ Ugandans facing persecution in Uganda

Closed 343 signatures

What the petition asks

To help LGBTQ+ Ugandans escape persecution in Uganda, offer asylum and help them travel to the UK.
I fear for the safety of LGBTQ+ folk in Uganda who now face the death penalty or life in prison. They really need our help and any LGBTQ+ identity should be a valid reason for being granted asylum when you face capital punishment for something natural you cannot change about yourself.
