The Latvian parliament has recently passed laws banning gay-marriage there and ministers have described being gay as a sin! Latvia is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU should take measures against that country to force them to bring their laws in line with the rest of the EU.
Coming on the same day that two guys are jailed in London for the homophobic murder of a 24 year old lad in London 10 months ago, it's no wonder that these sort of problems exist when parts of the political establishment believe being gay is inherently wrong.
Being gay is not something people choose to be... if it was a choice, people would choose to be straight every time.
Shame on Latvia for stirring up homophobia.
