Gays march in 3 Indian cities-Rex Wockner INTERNATIONAL NEWS #741- 07/07/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Some 2,000 GLBT people staged pride marches in the Indian cities of
Calcutta, Bangalore and Delhi June 29 -- the first such parades in the
latter two cities.
<br><br>"India continues to stigmatize its transgender, kothi, hijra, gay,
lesbian, bisexual and other communities of marginalized sexualities and
genders," organizers said. "Section 377 ... encroaches upon a person's
democratic rights, goes against the spirit of the Indian Constitution
and impedes life-saving sexual health work among sexual minorities."<br><br>Senior lawyer Anand Grover, of the Lawyers Collective HIV/AIDS unit, says, ?Blackmailers succeed simply because these gay men are too closeted to fight back. It?s this desire for secrecy and fear of being ousted that leaves gays open to grave security risks. The answer is to be more open as you can?t be arrested on the basis of your sexual orientation. Beyond that, there?s little refuge in law unless Section 377 is amended.?

Someone firebombed the Budapest gay bar Action on June 27 after first
phoning to be sure there were patrons present and to announce his plan<br><br>Several gay and gay-friendly organizations have denounced the police for
investigating the incident as one of "vandalism" rather than "attempted
murder."<br><br>
"Vandalism is when you spray paint on a wall," said Gábor Kuszing of the
Association of People Challenging Patriarchy. "Throwing a petrol bomb
into a bar with people in it is attempted murder. We are afraid that the
police (are sending) a message that serious crimes against LGBT people
will be tolerated."
