This idea of gay pride there is nice but needs to be coupled with a clear statement from local government that any muslim organisation which preaches homophobia (ie all of them) will have all government funding stopped. By the way Amsterdam may be seeing as increase in homophobia but it is still a far more gay friendly place than anywhere in the UK.

It's about as stupid as trying to arrange a gay pride parade as an integral part of a Catholic church fete. What Holland actually needs to do is increase police patrols in the problem areas to protect gay people, and severely punish those Muslims who do not assimilate and integrate into their new country and abide by its laws.

One dutchman put it like this to me; he said, it is like inviting someone into your house, feeding them and treating them well, and then they turn around and wreck your house. Amsterdam used to be a great city, but has been ruined by a mass invasion of violently homophobic, sexist, muslims from North Africa. Muslims want their culture respected, yet refuse to have any respect for Holland. So very, very sad.

They have no respect for democracy or pluralism; the MOMENT they reach majority status ANYWHERE, they impose Sharia "law" ... we've seen it happen again and again. If they can't obey Western law, then they must leave the West. The answer is very simple: give GLBTQAI Muslims sanctuary; deport the rest back to their country of origin.

Fact is, Islam facilitates homophobia and lots of other anti-western sentiments. Who knows what the answer is! How on earth will a gay pride parade decrease homophobia??
