                      International Meeting Sets Demands
                            for Stonewall 25 March


The organizers of Stonewall 25 have established the political demands
for an International March on the United Nations to Affirm the Human
Rights of Lesbian and Gay People. At a series of meetings held during
the 14th Annual Conference of the International Lesbian and Gay
Association (ILGA) meeting in Paris from July 12 to 18, Stonewall 25
developed the basic document for the first great international march of
the Lesbian/Gay movement in New York on Sunday, June 26, 1994 which is
the centerpiece of the Stonewall 25 celebration.

The demands which receieved full support from the 250 delegates from
over 30 countries, are based on the inclusion of Lesbian, Gay and
Bisexual people and persons living with HIV/AIDS in the protections of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the fundamental rights
statement of the United Nations. "If the organizers in New York are
serious about the Stonewall 25 march being a global event," explained
Gro Lindstad of Norway who chaired the session, "it is absolutely
essential that important decisions be made in an international forum."

The march is the largest single event of Stonewall 25: which will see
hundreds of events commemorating the Stonewall riots in 1969 which are
considered the birthplace of the modern Lesbian/Gay movement. These
events, both in New York and around the world, will take place
throughout June and July 1994 with the weekend of June 25-26, 1994 set
aside for the festivities in New York. Pride committees across the
United States are planning to shift their dates so that over a million
Lesbian and Gay people and their supporters are expected for the
International March and Rally, which will be the largest Lesbian/Gay
event in history.

Gay Games IV, the 16th Annual Conference of ILGA and the Stonewall
Exhibition Project are among the more than two dozen political,
cultural, health-related, athletic and spiritual events already
scheduled for New York during the last week in June and the first week
of July, 1994. In addition, Stonewall 25 has published a Global
Calendar of Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Events for 1992-1994 which will
support the organizing efforts of Lesbian/Gay worldwide.  "Stonewall 25
is our opportunity to emphasis the strength and diversity of our
movement, explained Hartmut Schnknecht of Christopher Street Berlin,
organizers of Berlin pride and of next year's Europride '93. "It is
important to use the publicity generated by the big actions to focus
media attention of the fact that we are everywhere."
