BETIFUL GAY ROMANIA: SIGHISOARA, CRAVA, BUCHART, BRASOV, BRAN & PEL STL, AND MUCH MORE

In fact, the past three s have seen huge progrs for LGBT rights Romania: homosexualy was wholly crimalized (1996), the age of nsent was equalized (2002), anti-discrimatn laws the workplace and regardg the provisn of servic were troduced (2000).

GAY LIFE ROMANIA

In fact, the only law agast gay cizens Romania is that prohibg same-sex marriage; this is unlikely to change any time soon given that public opn, unr the fluence of the church, is still very much agast .

Currently, relig and nservative anizatns are mobilizg to hold a referendum on amendg the nstutn so that will enshre marriage as ‘between a man and a woman’; this would make legalizg gay marriage much more difficult and is seen by many as a step backwards.

Thanks to the efforts of advocy anizatns like ACCEPT Romania, attus are slowly changg, and the gay muny is beg more open and active across the untry, although there is still a sizable gap between cy and untry.

While overall public attus towards the LGBT muny are still que negative, gay travelers should not allow this to put them off gog to this betiful untry; however, people should be aware of the potential hostily they uld enunter.

In an tertg way, is almost more important to be wary Romania than a untry where homosexualy is pletely prohibed; while is legal Romania, the untry is an -between zone where the populatn is more aware of the LGBT muny, and therefore hostile attus are also more out the open.

Buchart is fely the most tolerant and open cy Romania; here is where the bulk of Romania’s gay scene is to be found, om vibrant nightclubs to f equented by the LGBT muny. As has been mentned, the more ral areas are likely to be nsirably more nservative and so gay travelers to the untrysi villag should be aware of that.

It would be difficult to fd a hotel or hostel that has issu wh gay travelers Romania; for one thg, often more open-md people tend to work tourism and hospaly. As is clear om the above rmatn, visors to Romania are not gog to fd much the way of out-and-proud gay parti; even Buchart, the gay scene is fairly limed and always changg. Some of the bt ways to do this are gay bars – start the eveng somewhere known as a popular gay hangout, and hopefully, that will lead to new iends and adventur.

The most important thg for gay travelers to nsir before planng a trip to Romania is what type of trip they would like to have. If they are lookg for an epic glter-filled gay scene as is found Tel Aviv, Puerto Vallarta or Bangkok, Romania is probably not the ial travel statn.

The difficult culture clash is led by a small number of bold LGBT activists termed to pursue “Gay Life Romania” a more open and liberal future for themselv and all Romanian lbians and gays. Unr his learship (1997 -2002) of ACCEPT, Romania’s ma LGBT anizatn, signifint chang were ma Romania’s discrimatory and opprsive laws agast homosexuals. While the USA has spent almost thirty-five years phg for anti-gay legislatn at the feral level, Coman and his dited panns tablished ACCEPT 1996 and by 2002 had succsfully persuad the Romanian ernment to change s anti-gay statut.

Durg the reprsive dictatorial years (1964-89) a gay person uld expect no sympathy om the thori and uld well be jailed for years. He knew he was gay at the time but would have been dangero to act on or reveal , pecially the heavy-footed macho army.

But to the dismay of nservativ and relig orthodox adherents, the price of admissn to the new Europe ntaed human rights standards that require, among other thgs, that homosexualy be crimalized and anti-discrimatn laws be put to place. But of urse, changg legal statut on paper don’t easily translate to changg attus among a populatn mostly ignorant about closeted issu such as homosexualy. Dpe an flux of wtern ias, imag, liftyl, fashn and dtry, homosexualy is still a strange phenomenon for most, pecially outsi the major urban centers.
