Local LGBTI communities in Estonia came together for a discussion event in the city of Tartu and a film screening in the capital, Tallinn, in commemoration of the IDAHOT 2014.

Tartu discussion event

In Estonia’s second city, Tartu, local LGBTI communities organised a discussion event under the theme/question “How can gays in Tartu hope to be happy?”. Organisers invited city residents to discuss how to move toward the fulfillment of a positive vision for sexual minorities, as well as their families, and same sex partners.
