This is a motion I have tried to get the Green Party of England and Wales committee to take forward to the European Green Party....
Given the recent attacks on one of the first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender festivals in Bosnia by homophobic thugs encouraged by extremist politicians, which resulted in the cancellation of the festival in Sarajevo, the European Green Party supports the following resolution.
We call upon the Bosnian authorities to protect the LGBT citizens of Bosnia from homophobic violence and intolerance and to ensure that LGBT events do not again become the focus of such violent attacks leading to their cancellation. We fully uphold the rights of all LGBT people in Europe and insist that all applicant countries for membership of the European Union, protect the rights of all vulnerable minorities in their states, and that such membership cannot be considered until it is clearly demonstrated that such minorities, such as the LGBT community, are fully protected and that European human rights legislation and protection is fully adhered to by such applicant states.

Look, is it just me or does the picture of The Leader on the gpew homepage remind anyone else of Jaqueline Pearce playing Servelan from Blakes 7?
Am I having some really weird flasbacks or what but Adrian reminds me of Travis.
Uncle Heavy
Are you suggesting that the Servalan and Travis photos on Green Party web might cheer up our oppressed LGBT friends in Kosovo?
Or yes you may be having a weird flashback.
She has got a bit of the Sevelan about her...but surely this is a plus point of the new leadership set up.
Reminds me of Anita Harris - Principal Boy. But I may just be a tad older than you.
I won't mention the Pantomime Dame.
