First Party calls locals to ignore Pride
The LPP/LC faction of the Rīga City Council calls upon the people and guests of Rīga to refuse to take part in the so-called sexual minorities march and to ignore it.
“We oppose the presentation of intimate issues in the public space,” said faction chairman Andris Ameriks. “People who find it acceptable to demonstrate their sexual needs do not deserve public attention. We believe that they are purposefully provoking a counteraction to their provocative behaviour, and if we bow before their provocations, that will only increase their self-satisfied delight. I hope that our views will be heard by the Latvian mass media.”
