Join us on Feb 14 for a Google Hangout kick off our Drawing the Line programme of monthly youth events. Since its Valentines Day we’ll be in the mood to talk about love and free expression.

Love and -– more specifically -– same-sex love has been top of the international news agenda in the last few months with Nigeria passing a law banning homosexuality and the debates raging around Russia’s attitude to the LGBT community ahead of the Sochi 2014 Games. So with Valentine’s Day just round the corner, Index on Censorship wants to know from you-

Should we promote same-sex relationships?

We want to hear what you think! You can get involved now on Twitter and Facebook using the hashtag #LoveandFEX.

• Do you think we should have better education in schools on LGBT rights?
• Should we give these groups a platform?
• Do you even think this is a form of free expression?

At 12pm on Friday 14th February, a day dedicated to love, we will host a Google Hangout with Brian Pellot, Director of Global Strategy and Religious Freedom Editor at Religion New Service and Joel Bedos, International Coordinator for International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) to debate the issues.
