Pink Pearls Magazine Issue Nr. 4
presents the European lesbian scene
Connection
Since September 2010 we’re actively involved in connecting lesbian women and making them more visible in the Netherlands and Europe. The reactions of women we approach for interviews, stories and news are really heartwarming. There are also women and organizations doing things for us on their own initiative, appreciating the way Pink Pearls Amsterdam is working for lesbian women.
Show Your COLOUR!
From 20 to 24 July, Rotterdam is the centre of the most important gay sports event in Europe: the EuroGames 2011. About 6000 participants from the whole world come to the Dutch port city to play sports and sniff some culture under the motto: Show Your COLOUR!
