SUPPORT FOR GAY MARRIAGE DOUBL ROMANIA
* lgbt legal romania *
Romania is a socially nservative untry, and that is reflected s attus towards gay and transgenr muni. However, the untry’s gay scene is gradually growg and fely a place that should be on everyone’s mt-see list.
The good news is, homosexualy is legal Romania, and there is a range of anti-discrimatn laws place. 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).
Romania is nsirg a bill that would ban mors om beg exposed to so-lled "gay propaganda" schools and public life, spe warngs om rights groups that would "fuel Rsian disrmatn mpaigns" and restate censorship. * lgbt legal 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.
Lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr people Romania face legal challeng and discrimatn not experienced by non-LGBT rints. Attus Romania are generally nservative, wh regards to the rights of gay, lbian, bisexual, and transgenr cizens. In the past two s, fully crimalised lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr, troduced and enforced wi-rangg discrimatn laws, equalised the age of nsent and troduced laws agast lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr. Furthermore, LGBT muni have bee more visible recent years, as a rult of events such as Buchart's annual pri para and Cluj-Napo's Gay Film Nights ftival. In 2006, Romania was named by Human Rights Watch as one of five untri the world that had ma "exemplary progrs batg rights ab based on sexual orientatn or genr inty." * lgbt legal romania *
Dpe the legal support place for the LGBT muny, the social suatn for gay people Romania is still very challengg. There have been hostile reactns to Gay Pri march and gay ftivals, particularly om far-right groups like Noua Dreaptă.
