In realy, back 1966 Bulgaria was amongst the first untri to crimalise homosexualy – not jt the Eastern Bloc, but Europe as a whole.
In Stal’s Soviet Unn such people were acced of belongg to the bourgeoisie, and homosexual relatns between men, particular, were punished wh up to five years of prison and hard labour. The 1963 march led to a group trial year later of 26 men for practicg homosexualy, many of whom were high profile dividuals, cludg actor Gei Partsalev, pop sger E Dimrov and his moured partner, songwrer Vasil Andreev, poet and translator Borislav Geiev, and other actors, film directors, and dancers – all of whom were the public eye. The plete failure of the experiment eventually led to sexologist Todor Bostandzhiev clarg homosexualy an “curable mental illns” and for this reason, he argued, should not be punished as harshly as was then outled the law.

In 1968, Bostandzhiev, alongsi psychologists Nikola Shipkovenski, Emanuil Sharankov, and Kosta Zaimov, prepared a paper for the BCP Central Commtee llg for homosexualy to be fully legalised, argug that, “Sexual terurse between adults, by mutual nsent and unr ndns which do not vlate public moraly, should not be prohibed or prosecuted. On May 1, 1968, more than a year before the Stonewall Rts took place New York Cy, the penal Bulgaria was revised, and homosexualy beme fully legal.
Dpe beg volved a cel and scientifilly basels experiment wh queer men’s sexual orientatn and clarg homosexualy a mental illns, Bostandzhiev did eventually ntribute to the signifint relaxatn of the BCP’s attus towards LGBT+ Bulgarians. At the time, wh a few exceptns, most of the events surroundg the prosecutns, trials, the Natnal Mil Theatre march through Sofia, the experiments, and even the crimalisatn and legalisatn of homosexualy remaed hidn om the public eye, pecially for those ridg outsi the pal.
