THE GAY SI OF PRAGUE

&nbsp;One of the nsistent featur of the gay rights movement over the past five s has been a belief progrs: Members of the gay muny and their alli have sisted that, over time, attus about homosexualy will only change for the better. In part, this nvictn is based on the power of moral suasn, but also reli on sheer mographics: Younger people tend to be more... * prague gay rights *

Travelerasked Czech native and Prague4Gay tour-pany owner Petr Prokopík about how his home cy has changed, his favore plac, and why heterosexual travelers love learng about LGBT should LGBT travelers know about Prague? Registered partnership for gays and lbians was troduced 2006.

When I started Prague4Gay ten years ago, my clients were mostly gay men, many of them primarily wantg to explore the unfaiar and exotic gay pal of Eastern Europe. Today, I serve as an IGLTA (Internatnal Gay and Lbian Travel Associatn) ambassador the Czech are your tour clients and what are they most terted ? On every cy tour you’ll learn the date pennt Czechoslovakia was tablished—but how was life Prague 1920s and ‘30s for members of the “other” muni, like gays, lbians, Jews, Germans, members of different religns?

PRAGUE GAY PRI

As the EU enforc same-sex upl’ rights throughout the bloc, an amendment regnizg gay adoptn stalls the Czech Senate. * prague gay rights *

To learn about those differenc n be tertg for everyone—gays, lbians, trans people, and Prokopík's gay-foced tour pany lnched 2005. It has more than 110, 000 viewers annually—gay and straight—pl screengs ten Czech ci. To meet wh iend and have a great cup of ffee or a beer, I ually go to Q Café, a small iendly fé where everyone is wele—gays, lbians, lol artists, stunts.

Thoands of people rallied the Czech pal on Wednday to honor two Slovak gay men that were shot ad Bratislava and mand a better protectn of the LGBTQ muny.

CZECHIA AND ATRIA CRICISE HUNGARY FOR RTRICTG A GAY NOVEL

The Czech Republic, the Central European untry is the most liberal European untry regardg lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr (LGBT+) rights acrdg to CEE New Perspectiv. A 2013 Pew Rearch Center survey monstrated that 80% of Czechs thk that homosexualy ought to be acknowledged by society, one of the most top among the 39 natns surveyed.

AS THE EU TAK A STEP FORWARD FOR GAY RIGHTS, CZECHIA STANDS STILL ON THE ISSUE

The reason why homosexual people prefer to move to Prague than any other place the untry is that some of them are still a b of sred to e out as a homosexual wh the fear of dreadg rults as revealed by the surveys recently nducted by the Czech Amy of Scienc (fd here Czech).

It aims are maly to promote tolerant civil society, fight agast homophobia and crease public awarens of gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr muny the Czech Republic. Also 2011 Prague’s first gay & lbian pri ftival happened. We talked to two gay upl livg Brno, to get to know more about the current suatn.

It is often hard to meet and to make iendships wh other gay people around and once a Czech gay people fd a partner they tend to hi away om other gays. There is also a gay film ftival lled Mezipatra that plays movi both ci (Prague and Brno). There is also a gay ball every Febary and works siarly to the Mezipatra ftival.

TIPS FOR GAY AND LBIAN TRAVELERS PRAGUE

There are very few plac Brno for gay people and one of them is often more equented by straight people. I tried to be amible to a person there once and he warned me not to touch him as he “is not gay. After that cint, I gave up gog to gay bars and siar plac like that.

You n be whout hatn openly queer/gay Prague, as there has never been a problem wh public discrimatn or vlence. Homosexual acts have been crimalised 1962, followed by anti-discrimatn law 1999.
