The Dutch ambassador to Estonia has resigned from his post because he and his married partner, a black Cuban, have been repeatedly exposed to homophobia and racism.
Hans Glaubitz, the openly gay abassador, said:
"Society is long not yet [receptive] of two men, especially not when one of them is black"
A magazine in Estonia published an article last year , calling the appointment of a gay ambassador "a Dutch provocation".
>>>>Well, sincere apologies if your EU neighbour is too liberal for you! Perhaps the people should have thought about that BEFORE they joined the Union.
According to COC, the leader of the conservative party in Estonia called for a ban on
"anal sex between men and the public expression of homosexuality like holding hands on the streets and kissing each other". According to him " homosexuals have begun a campaign again normal families and the fundamental and values of a civilised society" and that homosexuals are out to make people "accept [something] that is simply unacceptable".
I hope the European Parliament will take this matter seriously...we're talking about an international incident here, and open discrimination by a country that joined the EU on the basis of respect for human rights and a ban on discrimination of all kinds.
And you call yourselves "civilised"! Ha!
