Dear Kyrgyz gays and lebians,
I am sociologist from Kaunas, Lithuania and we would like to prepare a research project on prevention of homophobia in higher education with partners from Switzerland. We would like to involve one university from Kyrgyzistan. Please could you forward our contacts to some sociologists or other social scienties in Kyrgyzistan Universities who are interested in gender issues, discrimination of gays and lesbians and homophobia. We could also invole one gay organization from Kyrgyzistan like yours if you are interested, but we need reseachers from University of Kyrgyzistan as well.
Since the deadline for the project is very soon (15 April, 2009) please contact us as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and cooperation.

I am amazed at how things here are. I am from the USA and amazingly met someone here and fell in love.
He recently Helped in organizing a bill board for equality and now is know or selected for harrassment from the police. We both were detained a few days ago.
I ask what can I do as a boyfriend to help him as I will return to the states soon.
I want to know if there is some contacts he can meet with to help him in the event something really bad goes wrong.
