Latvia IDAHO Report 2013

Flashmob by LGBT and their friends association MOZAIKA

Organisers advised before the event: ‘On May 17, LGBT and their friends association MOZAIKA is organizing flashmob on the International Day Against Homophobia. There will be a hugging and kissing flashmob on Friday, May 17 at 6:30 pm, in the square between McDonald?s and the Monument of Freedom. MOZAIKA invites everyone to come and hug your loved one, your mom, cousin, daughter, relative, friend, coworker or a simple passerby, to demonstrate that LGBTQ people have the right to be visible and the right to publicly hug their loved ones. It is to show that LGBTQ people have the right to express their emotions not only in bedrooms, away from the public eye, but also by the Monument of Freedom. Association MOZAIKA and youth group SKAPIS have been organizing IDAHO flashmobs for several years now. So again, lets join our forces by hugging (or kissing if you will) on May 17, at 6:30 pm, to show the Latvian and international society that LGBTQ people do not have to hide in bedrooms. Come whoever you are, regardless of your age, gender or sexual orientation.’
