=== Not ALL LIVES MATTER until BLACK LIVES MATTER ===
While BiMale73 & I don't always agree... on this we do and like my fellow Lushie... I too have signed. No one should have to live in fear no matter where they live.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Signed and blasted all over my social media outlets...
I just signed it and the site said the trial was in 48hours. I hope the petition helps. Thanks for bringing it to our attention P
Just learned this:
Update 4 April 2016: We have learned that one of the victims of the attack has been sentenced to 4 months in prison last week. The other victim will be going to court on April 11. Activists, organisations and journalists have gathered to protest this decision and demand that both men are released. We need to show Moroccan authorities that we won't back down. That's the only way we can make them think twice before sending anyone else to jail just for being who they are. Please sign and share.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i Signed and forwarded.
I also signed a petition to help stop the genocide of Christians and other minorities by Isis. I was sickened hearing about them cutting the heads off people for their faith, including children.
Signed, please keep us informed...
Signed, Let's us know the turn out
Signed and disgusted by the narrow-mindedness of some people
Signed.
While this is probably of no use, we must try to bring justice where we can.
Signed it.
I don't know if my little vote will do any good but mountains are built from grains of sand, right? I'd sign a hundred times if I could because that sort of thing is just WRONG.
I'm happy to say, we made a difference. Thank you all for that. Today I received this news:
Attacked, stabbed, thrown naked into the street. And then sent to prison. That was the horror two men experienced in Morocco, simply because they’re gay. Our partner group reached out for help and we jumped into action. You and over 80,000 All Out members urged officials to release the men and prosecute their attackers instead.
We’ve seen similar cases end badly, and we knew the odds weren’t in our favor. But guess what? You helped beat those odds. Both men were just released from prison! Imagine the horror they went through. But then, imagine knowing that tens of thousands of people from around the world have your back. And those voices help you get released! It’s an extraordinary win that would not have been possible without crucial support from members like you.
In addition to releasing the victims, their attackers were actually sentenced to prison. The victims remain on probation, but in Morocco this is a vital shift away from the skewed injustice for LGBT people that has existed for so long.
It’s still illegal to be gay in Morocco, but this win gives us a glimmer of hope. With your support, we’ll be able to continue to work with our partners in Morocco as they fight to abolish “Article 489,” which outlaws homosexuality. Someday, we could see one more country join the right side of history and accept all their citizens, regardless of who they are or who the love. But it’s still a long road ahead.
Thanks for going All Out,
Matt, Enrique, Leandro, Lucy, Mathias, Sarah and the rest of the All Out team.
