The Greek homosexual community are responding to the negative blog post against them by Greek Orthodox Bishop Ambrosios Kalavryta and Aigialeia with a kissing protest outside Athens cathedral (Mitropoli). The high-level church representative had called on people to “spit” and “blacken” gays and atheists with violence, stating that they are “freaks of nature”, “scum” and “faulty”.
Rather than make a statement condemning Bishop Ambrosios, the community are gathering outside the church to engaged in same-sex kissing. The kissing activists are members of Queerborg that supports the rights of the LGBT community. The group has called for a gathering outside the Athens Metropolis at noon on December 22.
