It seems odd that no matter how hard the economic situation is, money can always be found for certain things. The war in Iraq, for example.

The cut all funding in my opinion would be tantamount and on a par with other draconion decisions enacted in the past, such as Section 28, thereby destroying wider participation and acceptance of an integral minority in mainstream society.

]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2008 03:31:15 UTC 2886771 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/2884862?utm_medium=rss This is a unique festival and gives oppurtunities to performers to express themselves and enlighten others which are not always available elsewhere.It also attracts new audiences to a variety of venues and creates a great buzz in the city.I am sure this organisation fulfills any criteria that The Arts Council could set and its loss would be a tragedy.Please reconsider,thank you.

What's the point in building something up and then pulling the rug from under its feet. I guess it's a good way to keep Gay art down...this is the accusation you lay yourself open to.. especially if you cut homotopia in a similar fashion in 2 or 3 years time. Be very careful we are watching you.
