A petition to make Orange (telecommunications company) stop advertising in a newspaper (and thus funding it) in Uganda that spread the names and personal info of 200 homosexuals, making them targets for violence.

Edit: Orange has stopped the ads 24 hours after the campaign began, at the time 77,329 had signed, and Orange has later promised to protect LGBT employees in Uganda. Good to see these campaigns may actually have just a bit of effect on the world.

Here's a campaign not to include religious exemptions in a ban on fireing people for being LGBT.

I think anti-gay in America is actually being influenced to our children by CARTOONS.

For example, in an episode of the widely known program "Spongebob Squarepants", Patrick Star strips himself in front of Mr. Krabz during his short employment at the Krusty KrabTM and reveals that he has a vagina. After Mr. Krabz clarifies Patrick is not female, he immediately fires him.

So much for "For Liberty!".

Eh? I don't even know of that episode.

The cartoon does do innuedo sometimes.

What the hell does that even have to do with the Avaaz antivirus anyway?

How does Bla's last post have to do with Avaaz, Smjjames?

Anyways, xriqxa, I don't think that episode wasn't even trying to convey an anti-gay moral. Patrick was pretending to be a girl, and Squidward and Mr. Krabs were attracted to him. So once he finally revealed himself, they were shocked.
It implied that they are hetero, and that they are not attracted to the same sex. That's not anti-gay, in a discriminatory sense.

This topic isn't about Avaaz antivirus, you might want to read the first post. It's about Avaaz online petitions, and instead of making one topic for each online petition organization, I use this topic for posting petitions from Avaaz, AllOut Sum of Us, etc. Given they all make online petitions that often have similar goals, I'd say they have plenty to do with each other and multiple topics would be completely redundant.

Ah, I see it now. Sorry, I didn't see the part where they were attracted to her- wait, as far as I know Mr. Krabz is married. Ooh, cheaters in da house!
