For the first time, there will be an African Boat at the Amsterdam Canal Pride on 7th August 2010.
The African Gay Youth Foundation is preparing to take center stage in this year’s pride event with a message of Solidarity with the LGBT communities in Africa, raise the visibility of African LGBT individuals in the Netherlands and declare once and for all, that Homosexuality has no boundaries! (Homosexualité sans frontières!) We are here to finally shout out – We are Gay, we are African and we are not going away!
We also want to pay homage to Mr. Nelson Mandela, who had the courage to ensure that South Africa’s post Apartheid constitution included protection of LGBT rights.
I look forward to hearing from you. Let’s make History!!!

After publishing the Guide to Advocate for Sexual Diversity Education, GALE starts to map the right to education worldwide. On the GALE website, the GALE Checklist is now available. This short survey helps GALE to make an overview of how the right to education is respected and implemented for LGBT people in your country. The results will be used to create a map of denying, ambiguous and supportive states.
The survey consist of 21 questions. Our questions focus on the role of the State to secure these rights, but you can also add information about what happens in practice. If you do not add additional information, the survey will take just 5 minutes to finish.
At the end of the survey you will be asked if you would like to become a GALE reporter. We would like to find interested supporters in each country to keep on monitoring the right to education, and to stimulate both LGBT and mainstream organization to do the right thing. This could be to develop training and materials, but even better would be to first assess what the country needs and which types of strategy and interventions will be most feasible and effective. The GALE Foundation will support reporters to act on this, for example by helping to organize strategic workshops or some research.
