The Colombian Hotel Without a doubt some of the best people-watching in the city... sit and sip your drink at the big, open windows looking out over Oxford Street, or join the party upstairs if you fancy a big of a dance. Great meeting spot. Gets very busy during party season and weekends. find on map |

IDAHO : International Day Against Homophobia It's difficult to envisage in the relatively open society in which we live in the UK, Europe and Australia, that there are an astonishing 77 countries who punish women, men and children because of their sexuality. But then, it was only in 1990 that the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders. IDAHO - International Day Against Homophobia - exists to provoke action to end Homophobia. A number of events are planned for 17th May 2007, International Day Against Homophobia, around the world. We've listed a few here, so please do attend and show your support. |
