It's easy then, to forget that there are other parts of the world where these new freedoms still seem so far off. In Moscow, police intervene between LGBT marchers and far-right groups and brutally arrest- the marchers! In Athens, Greece- an EU country I'm ashamed to say- 5,000 gay marchers are pelted with eggs and flour by fascist organisations. And in Iran, as Ed and Bob have documented so vividly, homosexuality is still a crime punishabe by death. We have come far and have achieved much- especially here in the west- but we cannot and must not forget that the fight will continue until we are accepted and respected all over the world. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with this project! Celebrate our successes and commemorate those who have fought- and still fight- for them.<BR/><BR/>Love and best wishes to you both...andy altyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780169867836414177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853473956636581568.post-6794321383684698242008-06-13T12:44:00.000-07:002008-06-13T12:44:00.000-07:00Hey!

Celebrating the positive and exposing the darker side are both important. I hope your play will do both. Oh, congratulations on your marriage and your long term relationship. It gives a single gay guy like me hope that it can and will happen to me someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
