Attempt to out-law gay marriage October of 2018 failed. Current statSce Jan 15, 2008Legal The first versn of the qutnnaire stated that male homosexuals, Ain cizens om untri fected wh malaria, unted people, as well as other tegori of people nnot donate blood 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).
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.

There have been hostile reactns to Gay Pri march and gay ftivals, particularly om far-right groups like Noua Dreaptă.
In 2013 an EU survey listed Romania third among untri wh the hight levels of homophobia the EU. Many gay and lbian Romanians hi their sexualy, particularly if they live outsi of Buchart and other major urban areas. 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. Outsi of Buchart, there are two gay bars Romania – one Sibiu and one Cluj-Napo. Dpe havg a lot of stunts, which ually mak a cy more liberal, Timisoara do not have much of a gay scene.
Sibiu and Cluj-Napo, stunng Transylvanian towns, are both great plac to vis (not jt for their one gay club each!
