The UK Foreign Office has issued a new travel warning to LGBTQ holidaymakers visiting Greece. Despite Greece recently legalising same-sex marriage and adoption, becoming the first country with a Christian Orthodox majority to do so, the Foreign Office has suggested that those in the LGBTQ community should still remain alert. In a statement, the Foreign Office said that whilst attitudes are generally much more welcoming in Athens and on many Greek islands, these attitudes may vary throughout the country and that showing affection in public may be frowned upon, especially in rural areas. Lambeth Council in south-west London has received more than £2 million in government funding which will go towards providing housing support for young LGBTQ plus residents. The money, granted through the government's Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme covers three years and will support young people who would otherwise be at risk of rough sleeping. It will be split between three initiatives which will see the council working with third sector organisations such as the Albert Kennedy Trust to provide specialist accommodation for 22 to 26-year-olds.
