Pink News (3 March 2011) British Ambo marks end of LGBT History Month by visiting National Library of Poland to view Radclyffe Hall’s ground breaking 1928 lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness published in Polish in Lvov (Lviv) before WW2. British lesbian Clare B Dimyon alerted the British embassy after Lesbian conference in Brighton in which a contributor referred to a lesbian who said the memory of this book helped keep her alive in Concentration Camps 1939-45. Thank you Ric Todd..and for rainbow flag at British embassy on 9 June 2010!
“I had a chance to read The Well of Loneliness that had been translated into Polish before I was taken into the camps.
I was a young girl at the time, around 12 or 13, and one of the ways I survived in the camp was by remembering that book.
I wanted to live long enough to kiss a woman.”

(20 June 2010 Advocate ) In Slovakia, at that nation's first ever Pride Parade ...
last month, our charge, Keith Eddins, marched to represent the United States. There were anti-gay protestors who became violent and the police used tear gas, which our charge and other diplomats were exposed to - a quite unpleasant experience, but in service to a just cause.
Clare met Keith Eddins at British embassy shindig - a pre-PRIDE in late summer 2009.
