Baltic Pride under threat
Visit Riga for Baltic Pride on the first weekend in June and you might find yourself greeted by outbursts of violence. Since a few brave individuals started the festival in 2005, organisers and participants have faced opposition from host cities and homophobic groups alike. When the event was threatened with cancellation in 2010 a successful campaign meant that it went ahead as planned. Two years on and Baltic Pride is at risk once again - Riga council has received proposals to ‘ban homosexual propaganda’ and cancel the march. Please stand with us again:
