They’re dying for love

They’re dying for love
Over 10% of humanity is gay, fighting for the basic right to fall in love -- we die for it, are tortured for it, lose families, friends, jobs, housing, children for it. Now men in Chechnya are being rounded up, imprisoned, electrocuted, and beaten for it.

They’ve called on the world to answer their pleas for help, to show governments everywhere that humanity will not stand by as gay people are attacked and killed.

We can answer their call and power an underground rescue network in Chechnya, then take the fight to where gay people are most under attack -- making Chechnya the beginning of a global response to legalize love for our whole human community.
