The 20th anniversary of the abolishment of Article 200, which thorized prison sentenc of up to five years for same-sex relatns, was one e for celebratn durg the gay pri para and ftival held Romania’s pal this month. BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — The last person jailed for beg gay Romania walked ee untry crimalized homosexualy three years after that, 2001, while reformg s laws to qualify for membership the European 20th anniversary of the abolishment of Article 200, which thorized prison sentenc of up to five years for same-sex relatns, was one e for celebratn durg the gay pri para and ftival held Romania’s pal this month. Some Romanians, fluenced by the Orthodox church, reject the growg social acceptance of lbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgenr people, pecially among young people.

Dozens of muni Poland have passed largely symbolic anti-LGBT rolutns amid a nservative backlash that began more than two years Romania, lawmakers om two parti, cludg a junr partner the untry’s erng aln, plan to troduce legislatn next month that would ban so-lled “gay propaganda” schools.

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 .

GAY BUCHAREST

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.

Unsurprisgly, given the circumstanc, many thk of the gay muny as ‘sick’ or ‘immoral.’ Many of the anizatns mpaigng for the nstutnal amendment equently ce their adherence to ‘tradnal fay valu,’ seeg LGBT people as a threat to the. 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.

GAY LIFE ROMANIA

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. 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.

Enjoy an enlightened Buchart and an amazg walkg tour through Buchart's gay & lbian bars and clubs to live on your sk the magic atmosphere and LGBT scene of the cy. For the LGBT muny, the nflict is signifint as Romania mov to a new century, a new enomy and new fluenc om the European Unn wh s forward-thkg pro-gay polici.

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.

Adrian plays down his fluence brgg about legislative change for Romanian gays: “You know, Eastern Europe many of the LGBT movements are not grass roots.

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. Gay Romania was a story told to me by three Romanian men old enough to remember Romania’s worst morn dictator and yet young enough to feel the h breeze of the future.

Adrian still f his ias to ACCEPT as the work ntu the uphill work a nservative culture where most people know ltle or nothg about homosexualy (60% of Romanians live ral villag).

Although he spoke for himself, his words also reprented many LGBT Romanians who have lived the shadows of fear: “My beg gay affected me more than the terrible polics of the past. At that time, the early years after munists fell and before the law changed, there were almost no gay plac, no Inter ntacts, almost no one to ntact.

There are some small glimps of social change Romania that about 100, 000 Romanians subscribe to ble TV where such statns as HBO, ShowTime and Bravo broadst numero gay-theme ss, dramas and documentari. Ined, the sual pannships, the unworried sociabily of an afternoon at the art gallery wh a late eveng at the New Queens Dis were part of their discreet gay life.
