A gay man's life is on the line

Tell Sens. Feinstein and Boxer and Rep. Davis to save a man from being deported to Uganda, where he could be killed for being gay.

Unless we take action together today, a San Diego man named Joseph Bokombe will be deported to Uganda -- where he could be killed for being gay.

Uganda is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Homosexuality is criminalized in the country, and legislators have previously pushed a “Kill the Gays” bill that would sentence LGBT people to life imprisonment or execution.

Politicians and pastors alike have talked about the moral imperative of “eliminating” homosexuality from the country, and Ugandan newspapers have printed the faces of LGBT people on the covers of their pages, with the caption “Hang them” written underneath.

So why would the United States deport an openly gay man to Uganda, where he could be murdered because of his sexual orientation?
