Statement from Aid for AIDS of Nevada

RE: Canyon Ridge Christian Church

“After evaluating Canyon Ridge Christian Church’s backing of Pastor Ssempa of Uganda and his support of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, we feel that it is in the best interest of our clients, supporters and staff to dissolve our relationship with the church immediately. Unfortunately, we will be unable to continue to work with the church, as long as they are associated with Pastor Ssempa. Since what he and the Anti-Homosexuality Bill represent violates the basic human rights that should be afforded to all Ugandans. Our mission is to provide client service programs that assist in enhancing the physical health and psychosocial wellness of the individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Nevada, while promoting dignity and improving the quality of their lives. We will further this mission without the support of Canyon Ridge Christian Church.

The Red Ribbon Army The organization targeted by this petition has removed our post from their fb page (as described in this article). We ask again Aid for AIDS of Nevada! Do you support the Uganda death penalty bill for gays living with HIV/AIDS?

This would be laughable if it wasn’t so damned tragic!

Try this…anyone…anyone…what is the answer to the question that I bolded? Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind that Aid for AIDS of Nevada does NOT support the Uganda death penalty bill?

The bullies are getting out of hand!!!! You MUST make a statement! You MUST tell us your plans for next year! You MUST drop what you’re doing in this very busy week and ACT on our demands!

Shawnn – I covered that when it happened — months after CCRC knew that Ssempa supported the Anti-Homosexuality Bill – Here is my post with a link to their statement: /2010/10/24/statement-canyon-ridge-christian-church-does-not-support-efforts-to-pass-anti-homosexuality-bill/

We never did get an explanation from Pastor Odor about why he told the church that the Antigay bill did not criminalize consensual sex but only child abuse.

What is also unfortunate is that AFAN’s leadership continues to ignore a wide array of current issues and concerns by the community here in Vegas including those of the clients they service.

I invite anyone that would like to help bring about positive change or to find out more information about to Southern Nevada’s largest agency to visit the facebook group page Restore the Sanity in AIDS Service Organizations

Respond to them in their desired way and they will always use you as a reference, reject their agenda and they will demonise you. Congs Dr. Warren for wanting to kill many innocent HIV/AIDS patients. Yes go for all including The innocent like AFAN.
