Gay activist Peter Tatchell escorted from Holocaust Memorial quote:
Peter Tatchell denies his protest at the commemoration was inappropriate. Nevertheless, he was ejected from a Holocaust service at Westminster marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz where over 1 million people were killed under the Nazis. Tatchell was apparently protesting against Conservative asylum proposals and shouted "never again, today means not closing our doors to refugees fleeing persecution." Anyway, Scotland Yard said he was detained and escorted from Westminster Hall but he was not arrested. The event at Westminster Hall was attended by hundreds of holocaust survivors and veterans of World War II.

Arbourman —It would be kind of like if Billy Graham came to your town, the newspaper headlines would all read "Evangelist Billy Graham...." etc. It is what Tatchell is best-known for, both inside and outside the LGBT community. His most recent targets previous to this, for instance, have been homophobic Jamaican singers, and he succeeded in having the UK either deny them passports, investigate them on hate crimes charges, or have the singers promise not to sing certain songs. Also, in the past, Tatchell has been vocal in claiming that flight from persecution based on sexual orientation should be included as a valid reason to be granted refugee status. I presume those were all reasons that queerday used that headline, and I just copied the headline to use as a thread title.  good 'nuff?
