Just announced - Athens Pride 2010 - 5 June 2010


It has just been announced by the organising committee that Athens Pride 2010 will take place on 5th June 2010. It's a Saturday, of course, and I hope that many foreign pride seekers will support us next year. I have already read that the Greek section of German Gay Pride is coming along to lend us their support.
We need all the help we can get in what is still a very homophobic country - no equal rights for couples unmarried and homosexual but equality for heterosexual unmarried couples - The only country in Europ who manages to pass such a law. I will keep you updated on details of Athens Pride 2010 - the organising committee is holding an event this week - so more details when I havde them.
Think about joining us for a great week-end in June, the weather will be fantatsic and now with so many cheap airlines like easyjet flying directly to Athens from London, Berlin etc, it will not cost you the earth and Boy can you expect a party!

2009 report on homophobia in Greece

The Institute for Rights, Equality and Diversity in Greece has publised its annual report on homophobia in Greece. Needless to say the report in general draws a very negative picture of the Greek situation, researching showing it is probably the most homophobic country in Europe - more so than Turkey or Cyprus.

The rights of the GBLT community do not figure on the political agenda, there is no platform for the community in public life. Homosexuals are excluded from the Greek armed forces as they are termed psychiatrically "ill". There are no social rights for couples, no possibility of civil union, inheritance or social support. Indeed, even Gay Pride Athens is ignored annually by all public television and radio stations!


You  can read the full report on homophobia in Greece here. In conclusion it is no surprise the number of young sexual emigrants from the country to other European countries.
