2 weeks to go: Sign Wendy's petition to drop the anti-LGBT charges
My name is Wendy, and I'm 23 years old. Before I was arrested, I was a singer and dancer.

The last time I met my girlfriend, Diana, we were beaten. I still have the scars on my knees. And now, the government is trying to put us in prison for the rest of our lives.

Here in Uganda, we’re living under one of the world’s harshest anti-LGBT laws in the world. And our love is now a crime punishable by life imprisonment or death.

As I write to you, I have been released on bail. But now, we have just two weeks to convince the government to drop the charges.

Just last month, the government dropped an LGBT case after massive international outcry. They could drop the charges against us too, but the government won’t listen unless the world is watching. Will you help us and sign my petition?
