The organization of Gay Pride has managed to invite a Latvian delegation to the Amsterdam Gay Pride. Latvia had been in the news, because the gay pride had been prohibited in Riga (the capital). A meeting by a gay organization, also attended by several European politicians, amongst which the Amsterdam vice-mayor, was attacked by an angry mob. The City of Amsterdam wants to invite Latvian politicians to Amsterdam Gay Pride next year.
