Denver bout 100 people, including members of the Dutch and European parlia ments, showed up for the 22nd European regional conference of the International Lesbian and Gay Association from Oct. 4 to 8 in Bucharest, Romania. The gathering coincided with ongoing governmental efforts to repeal the Romanian penal code’s anti-gay Article 200— a requirement im posed by the European Union as a precondition of membership. It states: “Same-sex relations tak ing place in public or resulting in a public scandal shall be punished by one to five years’ imprisonment. Entic ing or seducing a person to practice same-sex relations as well as propagan da, association or other forms of prose lytizing with the same aim shall be punished by one to five years’ impris onment.” The conference, which was addressed by U.S. Ambassador Jim Rosapepe and representatives of the embassies of Denmark, Finland and Swe den, was big news in the Romanian media. It also attracted a police presence to protect dele gates from anti-gay protesters, who turned out to be few in number. Local gay leader Adrian Coman of the group ACCEPT told the Washington Blade : “This opposition is not strong. There is no public sup port {for it]. In general, Romanians are not very sympathetic to [Article 200].” The association’s next European gathering will be in the Netherlands. The group’s next world conference will be in August 2001 in Oakland, Calif. N EW Z E A LA N D he Auckland City Council has given $11,961 to next year’s HERO Parade, a big annual gay blowout.

Others came from Myanmar, Nigeria, Nepal, China, the Philippines, Ethiopia and Ghana. National Assembly member Kim Hong-shin is urging a halt to the prac tice. “The government should establish special treatment facilities for AIDS- infected foreigners on a humanitarian basis instead of deporting them,” he said.
