WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE GAY COMMUNIST ROMANIA

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.

CE îNSEAMNă Să FII GAY îN ROMâNIA, LA A LA Z

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.

SUPPORT FOR GAY MARRIAGE DOUBL ROMANIA

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.

Collage: Mircea TopoleanuAcrdg to a 2010 report rried out by the Romanian ernment's anti-discrimatn agency, 84 percent of Romanians would refe to drk om the same glass as a gay person.

So, when Accept anized a meetg about Romania's gay history, I knew I had to was there that I met Daniel Ia, one of the founrs of Accept and a man who, 1990, was the first person to ask for the dissolutn of Article 200, the sectn of Romania's penal that crimalized same-sex relatnships. I also met a journalist, who did the same thg but preferred to rema How uld you tell you were gay, if nobody knew what that was?

That officer was also a psychologist and told me he wanted rmatn on “the phenomenon”—that he was lookg to make a report to prove that gay people were not hurtg the state, that they exist all layers of society, and that some of them are valuable tried to nvce me he was workg support of gay rights. He showed me some pictur—some were om documents, others were om stakeouts—so I uld intify other gays, who they uld pick up om the public toilets of Buchart after the unrver officers hooked up wh them. When they wanted to blackmail you for not operatg or when they wanted to stop your reer, to hurt you, they nvced two gays to say they slept wh you, even if wasn’t te.

For all his dreams of a new man, homosexualy had no room his social Ceșcu, his wife, was very passnate about stori om the homosexual scene, isn't that right? There was also a story about their elst son, Valent—he had a spic iendship wh a gay actor named Do Popcu, who the end was forced to leave the untry.

Romania, on the other hand, creased the punishment to somewhere between two and seven years 1997 and outlawed gay “propaganda.

Altfel, tip gay, nu prea ai pe un să-ți manifești afectivatea în outComg out-ul, adică ieșul d dulap, poate fi o becuvântare, dar și un bltem.

În același timp, vorbim spre un moment extrem important în viața fiecărei persoane LGBT pent că e acel moment în re recunoști, față te, față faie, față prieteni, că ești gay s trans. Dacă ești gay în România, nu ești egal cu ceilalți, nici în viața zi cu zi, nici în ușurța a te cupla, nici la șală s la job. Mai mult, nu vezi pte tot reprezentarea iubirii gay în toate formele ei, iar asta are efecte lungă durată asupra noastră, a tuturor.

FilmeÎn ultima vreme apăt o groază filme gay pent toate gturile, re îți arată o lume un pic mai bună, iar personajele încep să fie d ce în ce mai plexe, dlo stereotipurile re ne enervează pe toți.
