Michael Cashman, MEP, writes to president of European Commission

Text of letter sent 29th May to President Barroso  Dear President Barroso, As you will undoubtedly be aware, religious representatives were seen supporting and endorsing the actions of those intent upon violence during last week's Pride march in Moscow. Given the increasing religious and political intolerance towards homosexuals in Poland and other new Member States, I trust that you will raise these matter with religious leaders at your meeting of 30th May and call upon them to denounce intolerance and hate speak against the LGBT community. I look forward to receiving your assurance or explanation. Yours,  Michael CashmanPresident of the Gay and Lesbian Rights Intergroup in the European ParliamentMember of the National Executive Committee, British Labour PartyMember of the European Parliament for the West Midlands
