Act Against Homophobia (AAH) is an initiative caused by the Faroese Government's homophobic legislation. The Faroese Government refuses for instance to make discrimination of people because of their sexual preferences illegal. This means that in the Faeroe Islands, discrimination of homosexuals is perfectly legal according to the law.
This protest is to show the Faroese Government and Parliament that whether or not it is in the name of Christianity, the surrounding world does not find discriminating acts against homosexual people acceptable. This kind of legislation is a serious violation of The United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights (http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html).
Unfortunately, right now violence and discrimination against people who have spoken up about their homosexuality in public is not uncommon in the Faroe Islands. And because there is no law to protect the homosexual minority against such discrimination, it is often considered legal and acceptable to commit these actions against homosexuals.
Please sign this protest! I’ve already done so.
