Jonathan Fryer, London Liberal Democrats' Number 2 candidate in the European elections, has condemned the Conservatives for considering going into an alliance with homophobic parties in the European Parliament.
Following the European election results, in which the Lib Dems held our ten seats and gained one seat in the Midlands, DELGA Chair Jen Yockney said: "We'd like to thank so many people for your support in the elections, both voters who gave the Lib Dems their support and countless volunteers who worked long and hard on the campaign. While we held all our Euro seats and made a technical gain in the Midlands, it is disappointing not to have taken the second seat in London that would have made Jonathan Fryer our first 'out' MEP."
DELGA and other Lib Dems interested in lesbian, gay, bi and trans issues and campaigning will be getting together on Saturday 27th June for the third Liberal Democrat LGBT Policy & Strategy Conference.
DELGA welcomes a petition on the "10 Downing Street" petition website calling for Civil Partnerships and Marriage to both be made open to any consenting couple rather than limited by gender.
After a long campaign last summer US president Bush signed a law that promised to remove the ban on non-US citizens living with HIV travelling to the US. The arrangements put in place however only allow for a temporary visa of 30 days to be issued under the condition that the HIV positive person's activities while in the US do not present a risk to public health.
