Indian gay prince opening speaker at Stockholm EuroPride
Gay prince Manvendra Singh Gohil will be one of three opening speakers at Stockholm EuroPride 2008. Prince Manvendra came out to the public in 2006 and is one of India’s few open lgbt-people.
-I am honored to be invited as one of the opening speakers for Stockholm EuroPride. Especially since I live in a country where lgbt-issues are still tabu, says Manvendra Singh Gohil.
Stockholm EuroPride invites guests associated with the festival’s theme to be the opening speakers every year. This year the theme is Swedish Sin, Breaking Borders – with focus, beyond the Swedish borders, on the situation for lgbt-people.
- We have chosen Manvendra Singh Gohil because he can give EuroPride-visitors a image of the situation for lgbt-people in other parts of the world, says Jonah Nylund, president of Stockholm Pride.
Prince Manvendra is president of an Indian hiv-organization and he drew attention in 2007 when he participated in the Oprah Winfrey show in a episode called “Gay around the world”.
- I look forward to visit Scandinavia for the first time and for the possibility to initiate future collaborations. I am convinced it will be a memorable journey, says Manvendra Singh Gohil.
Manvendra Singh Gohil is the son of Maharana Shri Raghubir Singhji Rajendrasinghji Sahib and his family comes from Rajpipla, Gujarat in west India.
