The municipal elections of 19 March 2014 are important for all residents of the municipality. Young and old, big and small, gay and straight. With that in mind, COC Haaglanden and DWH Delft are organizing a political debate on Thursday 27 February.

From 20.00 pm, candidate councilors of the political parties in The Hague will discuss in the Bastacafé of COC Haaglanden, Scheveningseveer 7. Many participating political parties are present.

About 10% of the population is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). In The Hague this concerns almost 50.000 people. Their position is legally protected in the Netherlands. However, this does not mean that the social acceptance of homosexuality keeps pace with this legal anchoring.

The debate will focus on the themes of education, security, the elderly, transgenders and sport. Of course we look at the LGBT points in the election programs in The Hague or the lack thereof.

For the first time, the public can ask questions to one or more of the politicians via Twitter before or during the debate. #rosedebate is used for this.

Anyone who would like to hear what the political parties of The Hague think about education in schools, care for the elderly LGBT or combating discrimination in sport is very welcome. Admission to the debate is free. The hall is open from 19.30 pm.
