Decriminalising Homosexuality (Commonwealth) and Equal Marriage (Scotland)
Here's two current petitions that I think would benefit from as much support, publicity and participation as possible.
Calling on the Commonwealth to Decriminalise Homosexuality
Originally posted by the lovely lokifan in Calling on the Commonwealth to decriminalise homosexuality. The petitioners would like for as many people as possible to sign in the next 48 hours - especially those from the Commonwealth.
Scottish Government Consultation on Equal Marriage
On a related note, if you're resident in Scotland, the Scottish Government is currently conducting a consultation (until Dec 9, 2011) on the introduction of equal marriage in Scotland, and it would be extremely good if people would submit their views. Because while most of the noise is coming from religious hierarchies opposed to equal marriage, surveys show that this doesn't reflect public opinion even among believers, but always threatens to drown out those dissenting voices.
