Britain’s ban on gay men and lesbians in the
military was upheld by a two-judge panel of the
nation’s High Court on June 7.
Lord Justice Simon Brown and Justice Rich
ard Curtis said the ban does not violate British or
European law and, furthermore, should be re
examined by Parliament, not the courts.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs, three gay men and
a lesbian who were kicked out of the military
because of their sexuality, said they will appeal to
European courts. The case is the first legal chal
lenge to the ban under which 250 people have
been sacked since 1990.
Defense officials claim lesbians and gay men
undermine morale and efficiency, cause security
problems, complicate communal living, and make
it difficult to “protect” recruits who are under age
18.

It costs $1,950 to be listed in the company’s
database for one year.
The country’s first dating agency for HIV
positive people, PV, opened June 6, reported the
Reuter news service.
Founder Stefan Wehner explained, “Healthy
people want nothing to do with HIV-positive
people, and that makes the search for a partner
very difficult.”
Gay men have organized in the former Soviet
republic of Moldova.
The 20 members of the group HOPE, most of
whom are students, educate about gay life and
AIDS and operate a contact service.
They are campaigning for abolition of Article
106 of the Penal Code, which bans sex between
men. Several other former Soviet republics, in
cluding Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia and
Ukraine, have decriminalized male-male sex.
The group offers visitors hospitality and infor
mation on the local gay scene, and is seeking
donations to buy a typewriter.

Lesbian and Gay Association at ilga@gn.apc.org.
