Sicher nicht das beste Pano in meiner Sammlung - seht es eher als "Collage" denn als klassisches Pano :-) aber es ist mir Freude und Genugtuung dass ein solches Bild von einem derartigen Ereignis an dem Ort überhaupt möglich war.

    Jo, ich hab mich ganz simpel in einen der Reisebusse gesetzt, die zum Zwecke der Emanzipation gechartert worden sind :-) Insgesamt ist das ganze recht erfreulich verlaufen, eben weil jede Unterstützung aus dem Ausland da war, so dass sich auch sehr viele Polen auf die Parade getraut haben.

    Für einen genauen Bericht bin ich aber zu müde.... vielleicht später.

    spannend...warst du in Sachen schwule Emanzipation unterwegs ?
    Würde mich ja auch mal ein kleiner Erfahrungsbericht von dir interessieren !
    Kann nur sagen, das Angagement wohl angebracht ist.

    Hänge mal einen Bericht aus der schwulen Chorszene anlässlich eines Konzertes des Boston Gay Mens Chorus in Breslau vom 02.07.2005 an. Da unser Chor mit einigen amerikanischen Choren eng befreundet ist, bekam ich den Bericht weitergeleitet.

    Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail:


    >> Subject: Boston Gay Men's Chorus in Poland -
    >>
    >>
    >> Steve Smith writing from Wroclaw Poland here. Our concert last night caused
    >> major controversy. Given that I have limited time and resources here to
    >> have internet access, I cannot put together a formal press release, but
    >> please feel free to use this first hand report. We are in all the
    >> newspapers here in Poland this morning and were on most television news as
    >> well. FYI, we leave Poland early this morning for a 7 hour bus trip to
    >> Prague. I expect to next have internet access on Wed. morning, Prague time.
    >>
    >> Our concert in Wroclaw was protested by an extreme right wing group called
    >> the League of Polish Families. All of the locals here said that they are a
    >> reactionary group tacitly funded and supported by conservative elements
    >> within the Catholic church here.
    >>
    >> Attention to our concert - the first openly gay chorus concert in this
    >> country - was heightened after protests and violence in Warsaw last week
    >> when the Mayor cancelled a gay pride rally.
    >>
    >> The day beofe our concert, the local organizer named Jaroslav Blandzinski,
    >> was arrested for handing out concert flyers at the opera house. Mr.
    >> Blandzinki is the owner of the only gay club in the city and took
    >> organizing the concert as a personal challenge. He was later released, but
    >> no reason was given for his arrest.
    >>
    >> The local director of Filharmonic Hall, our concert venue, has been under
    >> public attack to cancel the concert for a week, but she held fast and did
    >> not do so despite municipal pressure.
    >>
    >> On Monday morning, the League of Polish Families stated that they would
    >> purchase all remaining concert tickets in order to occupy the concert and
    >> force cancellation of the concert. At that time, the concert hall suspended
    >> all ticket sales and would only honor tickets bought in advance (however,
    >> ticket sales resumed at the door just before the concert in person. Advance
    >> sales had been 200, but more than 450 were eventually sold...almost hall
    >> capacity of 500).
    >>
    >> Also the League issued a release that they would form a human chain around
    >> the hall to prohibit the Chorus from entering and "defiling" the hall.
    >> After police intervention, they were not allowed to do this.
    >>
    >> At this point, early in the day, we noticed an substantial police presence
    >> at our hotel, with 2 large blue police vans filled with 4 armed police at
    >> each entrance. Chorus members were advised to stay in the hotel. Although
    >> the concert hall was only 4 blocks away, we were required to be transported
    >> to the concert in busses that received police escort.
    >>
    >> At the hall, I saw more than 25 armed policemen forming a secure path to
    >> the concert hall from the street. 5 more vans with obvious riot gear were
    >> parked next to the hall.
    >>
    >> There were about 20 total protesters. They had enormous signs and banners
    >> with crude sexually explicit anti gay cartoons and black flags with their
    >> logo. They shouted we were pedophiles and diseased. An unexpected counter
    >> demonstation formed on the other sideof the courtyard made up of (I am
    >> told) gay rights activists and anarchists. There was about an hour of
    >> continuous shouting matches as the chorus and then audience members
    >> entered. There was also a crowd of more than 200 watching. I am not aware
    >> of any physical violence against the chorus or attendees.
    >>
    >> TV crews and reporters from Warclow, Warsaw, Katowice, Poznan and other
    >> cities were in abundance. Reuben Reynolds and I did more than 30 interviews
    >> thru the day and film crews recorded our rehearsal and concert.
    >>
    >> Reaction to the concert from the audience was astonishing. The ovations
    >> lasted nearly 10 minutes and the chorus had to reenter the stage twice for
    >> bows after the concert. Literally hundreds of people were visibily in tears.
    >>
    >> Numerous local political officials including the Mayor and the wife of
    >> Poland's president did not attend. A proclamation from Mayor Menino for the
    >> event was read to the crowd and then given to the local organizer, Jaroslav
    >> Blandzinski in lieu of any officials.
    >>
    >> Our tour began in Berlin where we performed a concert at the Haus der
    >> kulturen der Welt and sang at Berlin's gay pride festival for an estimated
    >> crowd of 700,000. We next travel to Prague before returning home on Sat.
    >> July 2.
    >>
    >> I will be happy to answer inquries to the best of our physical ability when
    >> we regain internet access in Prague.
    >>
    >> Thank you,
    >>
    >> Steve Smith, Executive Director, BGMC
