This would be a good starter for the local police.. We would be gratefull at any real attempt to educate teachers and all education-related civil servants about what homophobia is and the funtamental rights of pupils, students and teachers that may be somewhat different than the compulsive heterosexual norm wants them to be.

Hermeia the Infosharer, for the greek sapphites The Opera orchestra members opposed the addition of a kiss between men to the presentation of the Rusalka Opera. They pressured the leading singer to refrain from the kiss, or they would not play at the premiere, and they circulated leaflets about how the director turned a fairytale to a degenerate homosexyal play. Their leaflet said.. "You may see for yourselves during the performance that this particular staging alters the libretto and adds homosexual tendencies to the central hero, with strong images. We have filed writen complains for this to the management on the National Opera." The lgbt friendly blogs stress the fact that the opera orchestra musicans are public servants paid by the taxpayers, and they should respect the constitutionaly protected human rights and facilitate their practice. Foreign media report that the kiss was finally staged in the premier, but the lcal media disagree, and there's a published statement of the leading singer saying he only gave a very etheral kiss in the last show, on the night of the kiss-in demonstration in front of the opera house, Sat. 14 March. more.. http://gayrightsgreece.blogspot.com/2009/03/homophobia-at-athens-opera-house.html Local and international media report rising numbers of rapes of women and lesbians and killings of lesbians during the last years, with a total of about 5000 rapes a year lately.
