# ‘Religion – the hotbed of homophobia?’ video

I was over in Stockholm in July to speak for the [Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association](http://www.galha.org "GALHA") at an event organised by Swedish Humanist Association ([Humanisterna](http://www.humanisterna.se "Humanisterna")) for EuroPride. I had a wonderful time with the Swedish Humanists, seeing my friend Staffan Gunnarson, who is their executive director and meeting new friends including Rolf Solheim from the [Norwegian Humanist Association](http://www.human.no "Norwegian Humanist Association") and Christer Sturmark and Carl-Johan Kleberg, the current and past presidents of Humanisterna. Good to see Taslima Nasrin again too who was also on the panel with me, a lesbian priest, a Swedish MP, and Sonny Van De Steene from the [International Humanist and Ethical Union](http://iheu.org "IHEU").

There is an account of the event up [now on the International Humanist and Ethical Union site](http://www.iheu.org/node/3262 "Europride account").

The video is up [here](http://www.human-race.net/video/homophobia/Homophobia.htm "Europride video") but there is a smaller version at [Google video](http://www.human-race.net/video/homophobia/homophobia_googlevideo.htm "Europride google video").
