(Australia) - Joseph Chetcuti, prominent Maltese gay lawyer and president of the Maltese Literature Group (MLG), was to give a lecture on May 29 at the Maltese Community Centre, entitled Ten Years on: The Pink Book, A Sin, Disorder or Crime and the birth of the gay movement in Malta. The Maltese Community Council of Victoria (MCCV), which runs the Centre, decided on April 27 to ban the lecture because it would “offend the religious sentiments and beliefs of the Maltese”, and because they felt that the lecture had “no connection to literature” and was “all about the promotion of the Maltese gay movement”. Chetcuti was informed the objections originated with the priests of the Missionary Society of St Paul, who share MCCV’s premises. He says the Society doesn’t want homosexuality discussed.
