Roze Zaterdag, Mensenrechten-concert en Botenparade Stichting Amsterdam Gay Pride wil mooiste Botenparade ooit tijdens EuroPride Deelnemers die in 2016 mee willen varen tijdens de jaarlijkse Botenparade moeten flink aan de bak. Om de kwaliteit van de Botenparade te verhogen en vanwege de organisatie van EuroPride in Amsterdam, heeft de stichting Amsterdam Gay Pride (AGP) voor komend jaar de spelregels aangepast en aangescherpt. De inschrijving voor de Botenparade gaat 4 januari 2016 van start. Dan wordt ook de nieuwe website van de Amsterdam Gay Pride gelanceerd. Op Valentijnsdag (14 februari 2016), wordt bekend welke boten goed genoeg zijn om mee te varen met EuroPride Amsterdam. Elk jaar wordt in een Europese stad de EuroPride gehouden. Sinds 1991 wijst de EPOA, het Verbond van Europese (Gay-)Pride Organisatoren, steeds een stad aan die dat jaar de EuroPride mag organiseren. Dit jaar is de organisatie van de Amsterdam Gay Pride aan de beurt. In totaal zal het festival in de zomer maar liefst 15 dagen en drie weekeinden gaan duren. Het eerste weekeinde (23/24 juli) wordt Roze Zaterdag gevierd in combinatie met een Europees ‘mensenrechten-concert’. Het weekeinde daarna (30/31 juli) staat in het teken van het Milkshake-festival en in het weekeinde van 6/7 augustus staat de jaarlijkse Botenparade gepland.

  • Where You Can Read the Full Country Chapter
    Romania LGBTI equality issues continued to attract significant public attention, with ongoing high-profile court cases and referendum discussions in 2016. Groups opposed to equal marriage for same-sex couples carried on with a signature collection campaign in an attempt to force a referendum on the constitutional definition of marriage. The manner in which these signatures were being accumulated was criticised by the Ministry of Education following complaints from students that collections were taking place in schools. During the summer, the Constitutional Court ruled that a popular vote on the issue could take place, despite concerns from international NGOs that the proposed amendment would violate human rights. In another prominent legal discussion, the Constitutional Court decided to refer questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union for the first time. That particular case concerns a married couple who wish to be recognised as spouses in Romania, but the answer could give clarity to many other same-sex couples in a similar position across the European Union. One particularly public show of solidarity for the LGBTI community came in October, in the form of the first public statement of support from a Romanian president. For more information on developments in 2016, visit www.rainbow-europe.org where you can read the full country chapter.
