And how to continue
2008 Mozaik Community – ecumenical Christian community for LGBT people established www.mozaikkozosseg.org
For the coming years our main goal is to get laws implemented that guarantee that we are equal citizens and to fight against the overwhelming homo- and transphobic propaganda in politics and public discourse. Both are great challenges for our community, and much will depend on the outcome of the national elections next year. As the Covid-19 situation allows, we will continue our usual activities. Hopefully we can stage the LIFT Festival this autumn and our other activities where people can meet each other - the community is really missing these events. We are continuing the work with Fairyland, which was originally planned as an education project. It is very important to keep Labrisz members connected, therefore we are holding frequent online meetings and we hope that soon we can have in-person meetings again and spend some fun time together in the summer.
