A BITE OUT OF OUR PINK WORLD!!!
The British, American, Australian and Austrian ambassadors to Cyprus marched together in the countryβs Pride parade last weekend of the 6th of June 2015.
Itβs second annual Pride event drew huge crowds with many LGBT people and supporters marching in support of greater rights in the country. Homosexuality was only legalized in Cyprus in 1998, with plans for civil partnerships recently gaining approval.
Marching together in the Parade were four Ambassadors and High Commissioners to Cyprus, Australiaβs Trevor Peacock, Americaβs John M Koenig, Austriaβs Dr Karl Mueller and the UKβs Ric Todd. The Cypriot governmentβs Interior minister Sokratis Hasikos also attended the event.
Sokratis announced: ββI am here in my official capacity as Interior minister, but also as a representative of the government. I personally, as well as the executive branch of government, have listened closely and fully understood the issue you have repeatedly raised with successive Cypriot governments and responded positivelyβ.
