OutRage! invite you to join us in commemorating 

QUEER REMEMBRANCE DAY

on Sunday, 1-November-1998, London
(the Sunday before official Remembrance Sunday). 

      QUEER REMEMBRANCE DAY is organised by OutRage! in conjunction with
other lesbian and gay groups. 


2:00 p.m., at the Cenotaph, Whitehall, SW1 

      Ceremony of Remembrance to commemorate the lesbians, gays, and
bisexuals who died fighting Nazism and who perished in the concentration camps. 

      Please bring pink wreaths or bouquets to lay at the Cenotaph, with any
message of remembrance attached. 

      We want to cover the Cenotaph with pink flowers, as a public statement
of lesbian and gay visibility and commemoration. 

      QUEER REMEMBRANCE DAY will help raise public awareness about the
contribution of lesbian and gay service personnel to the defeat of Nazism,
and about the "hidden queer holocaust" that has been written out of the
history books by revisionist historians. 

      It is vital for the success of QUEER REMEMBRANCE DAY that we get a
large attendance at the Cenotaph. Please publicise this commemoration among
your friends. If you belong to a gay group, organise a delegation to attend
with flowers. 

      We are delighted to acknowledge the support of the florists
