5th European Gay Police Conference in Vienna
July 10th, 2010
The 30th June 2010 saw the opening of the 5th European Gay Police Association Conference, held this year in Vienna. Based at the Renaissance Marriott Hotel and organised by Ewald Widi, president of GayCops Austria, the conference was attended by 120 delegates from across Europe and beyond.
Belgium and Hungary attended this year for the first time. The conference and the EGPA is now represented by most western European countries except for Finland, Denmark, Greece and Luxembourg. The attendance of our first Eastern European country was a fantastic step forward. The Hungarian delegation was joined by a member of a human rights organization who is supporting the development of a Hungarian gay police network.
