“Today we celebrate marriage equality and sexual liberation day. It became reality thanks to LGBT activists across Europe. On this day all sexual minorities in the World unite in a unified voice advocating freedom of choice, love and passion without the outdated dogmas. September 23 is a very special date for Central Asia and Kazakhstan in particular too. Being a member of the National Council of Public Trust I am close to founding the committee for defence of the LGBT rights. It is remarkable that it happened exactly in Celebrate Bisexuality Day. Today we become closer to European values and respect to universal human rights. Dear Euan Platt! I wholeheartedly congratulate you as well as all the LGBT pride!” – noted Rakhim Oshakbayev in an open letter to the head of IGLYO.
