Coverage from Pink News about planned opposition to the planned Riga Pride.
Opposition seems mainly to be coming from two sources - from ultra right nationalists and the Roman Catholic Church.
The event is due to take place tomorrow. Significant support comes from Amnesty International and different LGBT groups within the EU.
It is a key test for the principles of freedom of assembly and expression along with other Pride events within the EU coming as they do after the events in Moldova this year.
A further roundup from Amnesty here.
Also a report from ILGA-Europe about Bucharest Pride which passed peacefully.
