On a positive note of Pride, Euro Pride 2006 is being held in London, and there have been events on for the past fortnight. The Pride March is on Saturday (1st July) and for the first time will be going down Oxford Street - the main shopping street in London. This is pretty much unique for a march, and reflects the excellent working relationship the Gay community has built up with the police over the past three decades of Pride Marches in London.

The organisers are expecting up to half a million people to attend (last year London Pride had 250,000 across all events) - if you're within reach of London, do come and join us! I will be helping to steward the event, as I've done in a number of previous years.

For anyone in the UK, "The Independent" newspaper had a twenty-page "diversity" supplement today produced in association with Europride ... it makes interesting reading if you can get hold of a copy, with articles covering topics from Pride in Eastern Europe to employment pactices in the UK (eg http://education.independent.co.uk/careers_advice/article1117295.ece , but the link is only valid for 72 hours).


"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King

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
