In response to the recent attack in Trafalgar Square and the rise in the number of homophobic attacks in London, a vigil has been organised in Trafalgar Square on Friday 30th October 2009, 8pm.

Event organisers state that the aim of the vigil is to show the world that this anti-sociable behaviour is unacceptable in London. For further details about the event, join their group on Facebook - HATE CRIME VIGIL

If you’re interested in marching through Soho and helping to get people to join in along the way, meet up at Soho Square at 7pm. The aim is to get people out of the bars and on to the streets.

The organisers say it’s important that as many as possible join in, "because this wasn’t just a homophobic attack, it was an attack on everyone’s right to walk through their city without fear of attack. This is about everyone, str8 and gay."
