New York, NY, Jan 11, 2010—Astraea Program Officer, Dulce Reyes, was featured on WBAI’s Out FM radio hour. Dulce discussed the anti-gay legislation in Uganda and highlighted the importance of exposing U.S. religious fundamentalist intrusion in Uganda and worldwide. Astraea and our grantee partners in over 40 countries including the U.S. are constantly working for human rights that are fully inclusive of all people and are based on equality and justice.
“U.S. Religious Fundamentalists have had a hand in an anti-gay bill in Uganda that scapegoats LGBTI people. The bill calls for the death penalty, extradition and criminalization of those who fail to report people suspected of homosexuality within 24 hours, as well as organizations that defend human rights for all people.”
