A prominent Maltese gay lawyer has been banned from delivering a lecture on a book he penned, after the Maltese Community Council of Victoria (MCCV) in Australia, decided on Friday that it would "offend the religious sentiments and beliefs of the Maltese," reported BNews Melbourne Star.
Joseph Chetcuti was to give the lecture, entitled 'Ten Years on: The Pink Book, A Sin, Disorder or Crime and the birth of the gay movement in Malta', on the 29th May at the Maltese Community Centre.
