Dear Lou Engle is one of America's most infamous anti-gay pastors, and he's on his way to Geneva, Switzerland.His work is so extreme he even supported Uganda's brutal 'kill the gays' bill! We've got just days left to make sure he can't build a new base of support for his global hate in Switzerland. We could stop him right now if the president denied him a visa for his hateful agenda. Switzerland's President – and the venue hosting Engle – don't know how dangerous he is. But if 50,000 of us sign on, we'll deliver this petition directly to them and make sure they get the message. Will you call on them to shut the door on Lou Engle and his rally and ask your friends and family to do the same? Anti-gay religious extremist groups like Engle's are worth millions and they hide behind the amazing charitable work done by thousands of church-goers around the world. When we all come together and call out their work as dangerous and fringe, it makes it harder for them to spread their hate to new countries. The Mayor of the City of Geneva, where Engle is headed in Switzerland, has claimed that local laws cannot stop him – because they don't currently cover LGBT people. But if we stop Engle's event from happening, it could also show the mayor there's huge support for keeping out haters like him. Call on the president to deny Engle's visa now and keep his anti-gay hate out of Switzerland. It's going to take a fast and furious outcry but if enough of us sign they'll get the message: http://www.allout.org/lou-engle-geneve Together, we've called on the United States government to follow the money funding hate-mongers like Lou Engle. We've stood against laws that Engle promotes in Russia, Uganda and Latin America. It will take all of us to truly undo the anti-gay agenda that he and other extremists like him are promoting. The Swiss President, Didier Burkhalter, heads the department that oversees visa applications, he could stop Engle right now by denying him a visa. Switzerland has barred other foreign nationals for their political and human rights records before – tell them Lou Engle's hate doesn't belong there: http://www.allout.org/lou-engle-geneve Thanks for going All Out, Andre, Hayley, Jeremy, Sara and the rest of the team at All Out. P.S. The venue hosting Lou Engle's rally shouldn't be able to profit from his hate-mongering. Will you add your name to call on Uptown Geneva to drop Engle's anti-gay rally? http://www.allout.org/lou-engle-geneve SOURCES: Lou Engle's 'The Call Detroit 2011' Protested By Religious Leaders, The Christian Post, 10 November, 2011 http://www.christianpost.com/news/lou-engles-the-call-detroit-2011-protested-by-religious-leaders-61295/ New York Times Investigates Relationship Between American Dominionists and Uganda, Right Wing Watch, 24 Janary 2013 http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/new-york-times-investigates-relationship-between-american-dominionists-and-uganda | ||||
