"Thousands of nationalists"

Jun 23, 2014 03:51


So, the Sofia Pride got postponed because there was a flood in another part of the country and at least 10 people died in it (tomorrow is a day of national mourning). But our "nationalist" opponents still marched in the streets of Sofia and only postponed their "anti-gay rock concert". The video description claims that the event was 'traditional" and there were "hundreds" of participants, by the way, but I don't see exactly hundreds there. ;)

I don't think you would want a translation of what they said in the video; I didn't even count how many times they said "fags". This television is owned by that same political party that has been trying to make "demonstrations of homosexuality" illegal and some of its members embarrassed themselves in this TV show (as if their leader's sheer hooliganism wasn't enough to embarrass them all the time).

The motto of their campaign is something like "Oh, Europe, you whore of Babylon, you slut of Sodom," which the civilized people here find very amusing. :) It's on that poster at about 0:14 in the video.

The new date of the Pride rally is not known yet.

(Sorry for not writing about this yesterday; I felt so sleepy the entire day that I wasn't in good enough shape to compose a text or do any anything other than housework or very simple knitting, and I'm still in a loss if it was due to the suddenly colder weather or was the aftermath of all that pre-Pride adrenaline).

bulgarian politics, sofia pride, homophobia
