Queer resistance in Europe

Radio Lab

Discriminated, marginalized or oppressed, LGBTI communities across Europe are experiencing a wave of intolerance, more or less supported, accepted or promoted by public authorities. The referendum for the constitutionalisation of heterosexual marriage recently launched by the Romanian government, the rise of acts LGBTphobic found on the whole continent, demonstration against same-sex marriage or the repressions of events openly gay testify to this global conservative and identity trend. To reflect on this particularly worrying situation we welcome several European actors who engage in different ways for the defense of LGBT rights. David Kakhaberi, organizer of the Horoom events of the Georgian Bassiani club, Florin Buhuceanu of the NGO Accept and organizers of ClujPride will be present at the event. Through political lobbying, legal defense, the party or the media, what means to defend these rights and strengthen international solidarity ?
