You've probably heard that members of the Ugandan Parliament are, once again, moving forward with their Anti-Homosexuality Bill -- better known as the "Kill the Gays" bill because of its draconian consequences for LGBT Ugandans and their allies. The bill calls for imprisonment or death to those who are LGBT, imprisonment for those who help LGBT folks, and even imprisonment for those who know that someone is LGBT and don't report them to the authorities.
Where did this bill come from? The United States. This bill was created and the fires beneath it were stoked by American right-wing evangelicals like Scott Lively, Rick Warren, Lou Engle, and many others. Though some have now backtracked from their role in moving this bill forward, many are pressing forward -- delighted at their success.. The worst part is that there are also American politicians who are connected through a secretive group called "The Family" who have the power to put an end to this bill, but refuse to do so.
This bill just hit the docket for consideration, and will come up for debate and a vote very shortly. Will you join our call to American politicians to denounce the bill and spare LGBT Ugandans from almost-certain death?

Unfortunately, this bill is no joke. The consequences for LGBT Ugandans are severe, and we've been in contact with several groups that have organizers on the ground right now. There's a very small window of opportunity right now to publicly call out those American elected officials who could -- if they chose to do so -- step in with their friends at the Ugandan Parliament and ask them to kill this bill.
The pressure is on to save our LGBT Ugandan sisters and brothers from the harm that American evangelicals and politicians have heaped on them. Can you take just two minutes to sign this petition, which we will deliver to the American politicians who can step in right away and put a stop to this horrifying bill?

Thank you -- and please share this petition as widely as possible in order to shout the truth through the halls of Congress and to let our sisters and brothers in Uganda know that we have their backs...
For equality,
Felipe, Heather, Robin, and the GetEQUAL community
I'd just like to note "The Family" does in fact refer to Focus on the Family/The Family Institute and its branches, such as the state ones like The Illinois Family Institute. I'd also like to remind everyone Exodus International was also backing this bill.
These are hateful organizations that want to kill people.
Welp
I actually decided to make a new account. You can catch me at Dameinatrix (https://www.deviantart.com/dameinatrix) now.
I have closed all the comments on my remaining stamps.
I do not know whether I will upload any new stamps here or on the other account, but I don't really plan to make any stamps. I may take up stamp point commissions on the other account, though. It depends on how I feel.
I will be reuploading old art to Dameinatrix (https://www.deviantart.com/dameinatrix) as well as uploading new art. But right now I am starting with old art.
deviantART doesn't allow explicit content, so my weird porn writing will all still be on my Weasyl account. Again, you have to be a member and 18+ in order to see it
Updates Not Coming
The only reason I am here is to post this update. As I've said before many, many times and made it as clear as possible: I am not active on deviantART anymore.
So in lieu of replacing citations and rewriting entire stamp descriptions, I've just removed a lot of my stamps. There's a lot of things I don't agree with anymore, and a lot of things that needed to be fixed but that I didn't have the time nor energy to do so. So, I just gave up, and now only have a few stamps available.
However I did do another batch upload for pride month. I was going to accompany it with an art dump to show everyone what I've been up to, but... eh, not really in
Updates Incoming

Some may have noticed my Tumblr blog is missing.
It was deleted and I don't know why, Tumblr never answered me, and I tried for months and many different methods to get their attention. So, at this point, suffice to say the assumption is it's gone.
Which means a LOT of the resources I linked in my stamps are also "gone". However, a lot of those resources still exist, I just have to find them. Since WNSE was recovered, a lot of them are there.
This happened like back in September, a
Well here we are again it's always such a pleasure
In case nobody noticed (and, checking my profile comments, nobody did):
I am no longer active here.
It's been... shit... 9? 10? or more? years, and I've come to yet another point in which I am done with this crapfest. I don't know if this is permanent but it might be this time. Who knows?
I know I was doing good there, bringing weekly news and petitions and important shit to discuss while I took time to decide what to stamp. But time stretched on and I realized, I don't really have anything new to say that could be compacted into a little sticker on the Internet. I mean I have plenty to say, just... nothing I can put into something catchy

I may not condone their sin but I agree that they should not be killed. That would be murder. God condemns murder.
