Last week, we met up with Lilly Dragoeva from Sofia\u2019s\u00a0Rainbow Hub<\/a>, a coalition of three LGBTQI organisations based in Sofia. Rainbow Hub was set up by GLAS Foundation, \u201cDeytsvie\u201d, and the Bilitis Resource Center to act as a community hub, a meeting point, and a place for supporting Sofia\u2019s\u00a0LGBTQI community.<\/em><\/p>\n The Rainbow Hub do fantastic work in a very difficult environment. Prejudice and discrimination on the grounds of sexuality and gender identity are still widespread in Bulgaria. But the news is not all bad. This year\u2019s Sofia Pride had the\u00a0largest-ever turnout<\/a>, with between six and seven thousand people joining the march.<\/em><\/p>\n In the new year, we\u2019re planning to work more with Rainbow Hub, helping to tell the stories of members of Sofia\u2019s LGBTQI community, and finding new ways of communicating the diversity and the richness of human experience, something that\u2014when we see beyond prejudice, misinformation and discrimination\u2014ultimately enriches us all.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3234″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1576309384703{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Image: Robert Delaunay: Fran\u00e7ais : Paris \u00e0 l\u2019Arc-en-ciel 1914.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
