By Andrew Gilliver (Manchester, England) OCT 22 | On Saturday, October 23rd, 2010, people, organisations and communities from all over the world will be coming together to remember those who have been affected by hate - not just those we have lost, but all those who have felt the pain of losing someone they love.

The Lesbian & Gay Foundation's (LGF) Enough is Enough! Action Against Homophobia campaign will be involved in the Vigil Against Hate Crime taking place in Trafalgar Square on Saturday October 23rd (7pm to 9pm).

Enough is Enough! Campaign Manager Emma Peate, who is one of the speakers at the vigil says:

"We are proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Jenny Baynham, Stuart Milk, Peter Tatchell and many more, to remember Ian Baynham, to remember Michael Causer, to remember Tyler Clementi, and all those who should still be with us today.
The late, great Harvey Milk said “At what point do we say Enough? At what point do we stand up, as a total group, and say we will not allow it to happen anymore? Enough is Enough!” This Saturday is our chance to stand up and send a clear message to the world that homophobia and all forms of hatred are unacceptable and need to stop"

This is the 2nd Vigil Against Hate Crime to be held in London, last year over 10,000 people attended the event in Trafalgar Square. The Vigil is organised by Mark Healey and the 17-24-30 facebook group. [ Linked Here ]

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
