Hallo mensjes,
Iemand vroeg zonet om dit te tekenen, dus dat heb ik dan maar gedaan. Ik weet dat dit soort dingen niet altijd werken, maar ik heb er wel redelijk veel vertrouwen in dat dit niet goedgekeurd gaat worden. (met of zonder deze campagne)
Toch kan het misschien interessant zijn om te weten wat voor belachelijke wetsvoorstellen er gedaan worden.
Imagine being rushed to the hospital but refused treatment because of who you are. Tomorrow, the US state of Virginia will consider a law that allows doctors, teachers, and all companies to deny service to gay, lesbian, and bi people under the guise of “religious or moral conviction”.
The bill is going to a critical vote. If we succeed in convincing members of the committee to vote ‘no’, it will never see the light of day. We need a giant and global public outcry right now to show the committee that citizens in the US and around the world are paying attention.
The vote is looming - the next day is crucial to stop the bill so we need to go All Out. Can you add your name to this petition to tell the voting committee to say no to this anti-gay bill? We’ll urgently deliver the signatures to each committee member right away:

This law applies to schools and hospitals but also restaurants and other businesses. It could allow teachers to refuse to have gay students in their classes or let movie theaters ban people they even perceive to be gay.
Together, we’ve beat laws like this before - in another US state, Arizona, an outrageous bill was proposed to ban transgender people from using restrooms and locker rooms in local businesses. After thousands of us spoke out with local leaders, Arizona’s legislature was forced to dump the bill.
Add your name, it only takes two minutes: go.allout.org/en/a/virginia/
Similar anti-gay bills have been popping up all over the US. Just last month, the Michigan Senate narrowly shut down another dangerous bill that would have given companies the right to say “no gays allowed”. We can shut this one down too. Sign now:
go.allout.org/en/a/virginia/
Thanks for going All Out,
Andre, Guillaume, Lucy, Pablo, Rose, Tile, and the rest of the All Out team
P.S. More than a dozen other US states have proposed anti-gay laws that would allow discrimination in the name of "religion or moral convictions", and they keep coming. It's time to raise a massive global outcry to stop them. Without your help, these dangerous bills could continue to spread in the US, making lesbian, gay, bi and trans people targets for discrimination. Sign now to shut them down! go.allout.org/en/a/virginia/
Voor diegene die niet zo goed zijn in Engels:
Het gaat er dus over dat ze een wet willen invoeren die ziekenhuizen, scholen en andere bedrijven het recht geeft om mensen te weigeren die homo, lesbisch of bi zijn. Dit wil zeggen dat deze mensen geweigerd mogen worden om opgenomen te worden in ziekenhuizen, geweigerd worden om les te krijgen of zelfs weigering tot toegang in bioscopen.
