Controversial artist, poet and campaigner Vince Laws is to stage a protest against homophobia in Commonwealth countries during the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from July 23 – August 23.
Vince intends to paint 41 white umbrellas with the names of the offending countries on them in blood red and get 41 people to carry them on the Norwick Pride parade on July 26.
Each umbrella is going to cost about £5. Vince is on benefits, overdrawn and needs your help.
You can donate a plain white umbrella, just send a fiver, a tenner, whatever you can afford.
If he gets enough money he will do all 86 countries where it’s illegal to LGBT.
Once the umbrellas are painted, Vince intendeds to put them on display and let them go to different LGBT events around the country.
Vince welcomes your ideas or offers of help.
Vince staged the hugely successful B.Right.On festival in Brighton during LGBT History Month in February 2013 and brought his happening highlighting the 86 countries in the world where it is illegal to be LGBT in 2014 to the Brighton Pride Parade in 2013.
