Several thousand LGBT supporters took to the streets in the Romanian capital of Bucharest for a gay pride parade that resumed after a year’s pause due to the pandemic.
Marchers young and old walked through the capital’s streets, with many waving colorful flags and blowing whistles.
Although Romania joined the European Union in 2007 and the bloc prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, Ion-Rotaru says state protections often don’t stretch far enough. Hours before the LGBT parade kicked off Saturday, around 100 far-right opponents, who advocate for traditional family values, held an anti-LGBT counter-march in the capital.
This year marks 20 years since Romania, a country of more than 19 million, decriminalized homosexuality.
