Media and public reactions to 14 Feb press conference
ttp://kyrgyzlabrys.wordpress.com/2008/03/07/media-and-public-reactions-to-14-feb-press-conference/It has been three weeks since the now notorious 14 Feb press conference "Labrys" held at information agency
24.kg, during which we spoke of the four years of Labrys existence, our main directions of work, and God's tolerant attitude to homosexuals. It is now possible to summarize and analyze the general media and public reactions to it. Aside from the national mass media bodies present at the press conference (three TV channels, three radio broadcasters, three information agencies, and one newspaper), the news have spread far and wide. The general remark regarding the media coverage of the press conference is that regardless of the main information cause – history and achievements of "Labrys" – the coverage has focused on two main points of media preference: community centre and transgender issues. The only exception to this rule is
Strana.KG web portal, which reported on Labrys work.
