Host of activities highlight gay community
Numerous events and activities focusing on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community are being held over the weekend if you are interested.
The films, The Truth about Jane (the US), Aimee and Jaguart (Germany), Beautiful Boxer (Thailand), and Comme Les Autres (France), will be screened along with talks and discussions featuring noteworthy LGBT individuals.
The activities will take place from tomorrow to Sunday at the Goethe Institute, 56-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, and are part of Viet Pride 2013.
A bicycle rally will also take place, beginning at Giang Vo Lake on Sunday, to raise awareness and build solidarity.
Like Pride elsewhere in the world, Viet Pride joins global calls to end prejudice, discrimination, shame and invisibility on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.
All the events are in Vietnamese and English. For more detailed information, updates and freebies, please visit www.vietpride.info.-VNS
