Things are a buzzing at the new Cape Town Pride offices in the Cape Quarter (at 4A Dixon Street).
The Parade and post-parade Fair are going to be extraordinary – come and march with us on Saturday as we create awareness of LGBTI issues and express support and concern for all LGBTI communities fighting for equality worldwide, especially in Africa.
Please note that the starting point of the parade has changed – meet outside Prestwich School, lower Napier Street, instead of the Green Point Traffic Dept! Meet at 11am as the parade will depart at 12pm sharp.
Last Friday (12th Feb) we made our voices heard outside parliament when we protested the atrocious Ugandan “Anti-Homosexuality Bill” and our government’s unacceptable silence on this issue. Further, we noted our alarm at the planned appointment of the unapologetic homophobe Jon Qwelane as South Africa’s ambassador to Uganda. We of different race, social class, gender and sexual identities spoke with one voice for equality and universal human rights. We called for our government to take a firm stand against this bill, we called for Jon Qwelane not to be appointed as our ambassador and we called for the Ugandan government to recognise the human rights of its LGBTI citizens.
The Leapfrog Pink Ball is one of the premiere events of the 2010 Cape Town Pride Festival which runs over the period 26 February till 7 March.
