To Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs:

As citizens across the world, we're outraged that Wendy Faith, 22, and Diana Denise, 21 could face life in jail for an alleged kiss. It's time to immediately drop all charges - kissing should never be a crime.

Uganda: A Kiss Is Not a Crime
Wendy and Diana are just 22 and 21 years old. They could spend the rest of their lives in prison for allegedly kissing in the street.

No one should face life in prison for kissing someone they love.

This is the brutal reality for LGBTQ+ people in Uganda, where one of the world’s harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws has turned love into a crime punishable by life imprisonment or death.

But right now, Wendy and Diana are on bail. Ugandan activists are pushing for all charges to be dropped before they are returned to prison, and have urgently asked for global support! We've got to move fast -- so sign and share now to stand firm against homophobic discrimination and protect the right to love freely!
