As well as donating to CEDEP, please could you advise how best to make a noise about this - writing to local MP etc?! Thanks!

I have recently moved in with my girlfriend and my son in Scotland and have done this with no problems so far - it makes me incredibly upset to hear about the situations across Africa - please contact me and let me know what I can do to make a difference and support our African brothers and sisters. Thank you. I heard about what happened to two young men in Malawi this week – I am outraged as well as being deeply saddened that these hateful and dangerous views exist in our world.

I am not a member of the gay, lesbian, Transgender or Bi sexual community (nor of any church) but feel strongly that more needs to be done by Western Governments, Communities, and Churches to speak out against the homophobic (etc) attitudes of communities and their governments towards their own people. Whilst we can hope that those sentencing these young men will be lenient, their situation out in the community is not likely to be particularly positive and may be an existance fraught with danger. I hope that their plight and the plight of others in their situation will not be forgotten. just wanted to register my dismay at the judgment in Milawi this week and my hope that Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga will receive support and assistance from organisations such as Outrage whether they receive a custodial sentence or not given the threats of violence there has been to them in the community.
