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. Dpe the legal support place for the LGBT muny, the social suatn for gay people Romania is still very challengg. Unsurprisgly, given the circumstanc, many thk of the gay muny as ‘sick’ or ‘immoral.

There have been hostile reactns to Gay Pri march and gay ftivals, particularly om far-right groups like Noua Dreaptă.
