For the first time, there will be an African Boat at the Amsterdam Canal Pride (http://www.amsterdampride.nl/ or http://www.progay.nl )on 7th August 2010. The African Gay Youth Foundation is preparing to take center stage in this year s pride event with the following message:-
We want to raise the Visibility of African LGBT individual and declare once and for all, that Homosexuality has no boundaries! (Homosexuality sans Frontières!) We have all heard how this is an idea imported from the corrupt West (It can t possibly be African) and all that baseless blah blah… 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.
If your organization would like to participate and be on this historic boat, please let us know! While we do not have the funding to support your participation in this event, The African Gay Youth Foundation would be very willing to endorse your request for funding to other organizations, just let us know. Looking forward to hearing from you! Please email us on Info@africangay.eu with the words “Amsterdam Canal Pride” in the message header. As places on the boat are limited, this will be on a first come, first served basis. I look forward to hearing from you. Let s make History!!!!

Social justice is empowering people so that they can learn what they can do for themselves.
