One of the people I watch on DeviantArt posted this link up in their journal. It's a petition that's trying to get rid of a law in Sweden that forces transgendered people to sterilize themselves.

http://www.allout.org/en/actions/stop_forced_sterilization?akid=459.789248.PjaJuO&rd=1&t=3&utm_campaign=sweden&utm_content=english&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit

Here's the full description:


Quote:
"We ask you to defend the fundamental human rights of ALL Swedish citizens, and do everything in your power to eliminate Sweden's outdated "forced sterilization" law.

The majority of Parliament is in favor of the law's removal - but progress is being thwarted by a small conservative party. As the elected leader of a country that rightfully takes pride in its human rights record, it's time to stand on the right side of history - and break the deadlock."


I've already signed it myself. Pass it around if you can, guys! <3

Sweden does this? This is something I'd expect a third world country to do, not a developed country like Sweden. @__@

Swedens has had a lot of government problems. And they still do.

I believe that the current party thats in power is extremely right wing, and very bad.

A while back, they had a large Gay Pride parade in Servia. Several folks were killed during vigilante attempts to stop the display. It's like this happens in the countries you expect the least (along with all the other countries on Earth).
