dcdeb Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 http://news.pinkpaper.com/NewsStory/7602/1/08/2012/mika-helps-celebrate-as-lgbt-campaigning-group-reaches-one-million.aspx Harriet P Evans news.PinkPaper.com Wednesday, 1 August 2012 The British singer-songwriter’s track ‘Celebrate’ features on a new video from the LGBT campaigning group All Out. The video features some of All Out’s one million members, who contribute their proudest moments and achievements in the campaign for equality. All Out reached this impressive milestone after 562 days of campaigning. The organization has a presence in 192 countries, and has led campaigns against LGBT inequality all over the world. This year alone they have fought the anti-gay censorship law in Russia and helped to stop the forced sterilization of trans people in Sweden. Earlier this year they also sent Brazil’s Equality Moms, a group who defend their LGBT children against discrimination, to tell Congress that ‘love is a family value’. All Out’s global campaign to stop the ‘Kill the Gays’ bill in Uganda was joined by over half a million people. They are now trying to double their total members by urging more people to join this movement for equality, with the aim being to build a world where people can live freely and be embraced for who they are. Mika's track, Celebrate, appears on his latest album. To watch the video, click [YOUTUBE]srF44P0gsTs[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerMoment1608 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 A quote from Mika about All Out: International pop sensation Mika has said of us: "I've been inspired by the work of All Out and its members over the last year. In a short period of time, they've built this amazing movement of people all over the world. They aren't waiting for others to act -- they are getting together every day and contributing in big and small ways to make equality a reality all over the globe. That's something to shout about." Mika even contributed the song "Celebrate" (featuring Pharrell Williams) from his forthcoming album for use in a short video and over 100 All Out members contributed videos about their favorite All Out campaigns.
