The activist from OutRage is already working with Latvian activists
After landing, Peter Tatchell came directly to the head office of Mozaika, the hosting organization of the Riga Pride. There, he greeted the Latvian activists and took part in the preparation of the posters for the marche. About 25 gay and lesbian activists were working together.
Peter Tatchell gave his first impression to GayRussia.Ru :
"I am in a poster making workshop and I’ve just made a poster Riga is Gay and Proud.
There is lots of energy and activity. We’re about 25 people making posters, some printed and some hand written"
"I am glad to be here to support the Latvian LGBT movement which is battling against authoritarian state that wants to deny human rights LGBT people. Riga Pride isn’t just about sexuality anymore. It’s about the right of protest and freedom of expression which is an issue that affects all Latvian people. I’ll do whatever the organizer wants. If they decide to marche illegally in the streets, I’ll be there with them."
