No place for hatredTHE rise in homophobic attacks - and the progressive policies that can halt the rising tide of this hateful and grotesque crime - will be discussed at a conference in London tomorrow.
Speaking at the session on stopping homophobic hate crimes will be Mark Healy who was one of the pivotal organisers of the Trafalgar Square vigil following the brutal homophobic murder of Ian Baynman in October.
Mark Healy, founder of No to Hate Crime, said: "The brutal murder of Ian Baynham last year was a stark reminder of the human cost of homophobic hate crime, which is on the rise.
"London has a proud history of coming together to oppose hatred and division; as was epitomised by the vigil we organised last year.
"It is critical that all those who oppose all forms of hate crime come and work together to improve our communities and rid our society of hatred."

London Launch GalleryWHAT YOU THINK OF US
I just happened to come across your site and it looks great.
I am a make-up artist based in Cornwall
and I have done a few lesbian weddings over the past couple of years and what
surprises me is that they phone up and are worried that I may take offence that
they are gay. It must be horrible to feel in that position so to have a
magazine featuring people who are happy to make their day special is such a
fantastic idea.
- Sally Orchard Just a quick email to thank you for my copy of the new
magazine and to say how pleased I am to be part of it – I’m really impressed! I
love the tone of the editorial which has managed to be informative without
being patronising – a rarity in the world of wedding journalism, I
find! Wishing you every success with the South West edition of Tickled Pink.
Alison Miles - Alison Miles Couture, Bath, Somerset Congratulations to all of you on a great magazine. I hope it is really successful. We photograph our first civil partnership in November. We cannot wait.
- Diana & Dave, David Golding Wedding Photography, Buxton
Just been made aware of your fantastic website and magazine. This is a fabulous resource and I'm really pleased to see an innovative magazine specifically catering for gay couples.
- Belinda, Wonderland Tea Parties
We think it's great news that there will finally be a magazine dedicated to the gay wedding community. We wish you all the best for the magazine.
