Tens of thousands of people who had nothing to begin with are (yet again) victims of natural disasters.
We don’t have words for this.

If you have any urgent developments on human rights issues in Greece or anything else I might be interested in, please let me […]

A study of female immigrants in Greece was published today by the Research Center for Gender Equality (KETHI) and its findings are depressing but not surprising.
Of some 500,000 female immigrants in Greece, most work as babysitters, cleaners or housekeepers, even though 25 percent are educated to degree level, the KETHI study found. Many of […]

Tonight is DD Live. No-one came last week so I talked to myself for a couple of hours. I hope some of you will make it this week, otherwise I’ll just get bored with myself and that’s just silly. (Too much Monty Python methinks ?)

I received this press release this morning from the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece (ΟΛΚΕ) about the court case they are facing over the use of the word lesbian. Please spread the word about this outrageously homophobic court case.

With great astonishment we were informed by the media the deposition of […]
I think that the Eurovision Song Contest is a terrible display of awfulness but this is really disturbing. Fascist groups have threatened violence against gay people visiting Serbia for this years competition.

I know it seems like a long way off ( June 7th ), but Gay Pride 2008 are working hard on this years celebrations.

I know I don’t live there anymore, but I still care about what happens to my former home city. This is not good news… Boris the Joke Johnson is now Mayor of London. Now they don’t have to imagine… it’s reality.
Londoners - some famous, some not - imagine their city […]
Two more links for today…
