Europe's anti-gay crisis‏

Europe is falling to a new anti-gay movement. 7 days: Donate now to power the plan to stop the hate. Dear friends, An anti-gay wave is sweeping across Europe: in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Croatia, Latvia anti-gay groups are popping up and spreading hate.  They're slowly winning: they’re rallying politicians to strike down marriage equality and marching to take children away from gay parents. They're pushing anti-gay propaganda laws, just like in Russia. They've even got the support of American religious extremists. But we’ve got a plan to counter these anti-gay groups. We’re going to hit them on every front, isolating their networks and exposing their extreme religious backing. We can stop them from reaching even more vulnerable countries. If 6,000 of us chip in by October 31, we can ignite this plan. We could create powerful new campaigns in all these countries to stop the anti-gay movement. Together, we can make sure love always wins. Will you join the fight? https://www.allout.org/stop_hate Europe was once at the front of gay rights, with marriage equality passing in country after country. But now the anti-gay movement is fighting back and going further. So here's how we can stop them in their tracks: Expose their lies: Each time they push their anti-gay agenda, we need to be there on TV, online and on the radio telling the truth and giving a voice to the families they're trying to break up.    Cut them off from their international network: These groups have been working closely with American anti-gay evangelicals. We can help expose these links and show the public they're a hateful movement powered by foreign religious extremism. Get leaders fighting for love: Together, we could get politicians, religious leaders and celebrities to take a stand and fight with us against these dangerous groups. We'll leave these groups alone and friendless. Rally everyone who believes in love and equality: Millions of people don't want to destroy loving families. All Out can give them a way of working together online and in the streets. We can make this group look extreme and out of touch. To launch this ambitious plan, we need just 6,000 of us to join together and make a small donation. All Out's small and nimble office team can make every dollar go a long way. Please donate now to protect ALL families: https://www.allout.org/stop_hate All Out members have been fighting anti-gay hate around the world. When Russia started implementing its anti-gay propaganda law, All Out members joined together. 1 million of us signed petitions thousands of us took to the streets in 30 cities and hundreds of us donated to fight this terrible law. We pushed leaders of countries with big economic links with Russia to speak out. We created a media storm during the winter Olympics in Sochi. We supported our partners in Russia and organized media stunts all over the world. Last month, we even got the International Olympic Committee to make host countries abide by human rights standards, including protecting gay, lesbian, bi and trans citizens. This is what happens when we join together. There's less than a week – please donate now to make sure love wins in Europe:https://www.allout.org/stop_hate  Thanks for going All Out,  Andre, Jeremy, Guillaume, Gaëlle, Oscar, Sara and the rest of the team at All Out. PS. 5.7 million dollars. That’s how much a dangerous anti-gay group in France raised in just a year. Now they're spreading all over the world. They're fighting marriage equality and attacking gay families. But now we have chance to fight back. If each of us makes a small donation, we can fund a huge plan to fight them on every front.
