"Romania must not become Sodom!" chants a group of anti-gay protestors. After pressure from the EU, Romania changed its homosexuality policies. Last year saw its first official gay parade. People like Bogdan worry the march gives the wrong impression: "Romania is not really ready for this yet, not by a long stretch." The Orthodox Church has allied itself with Extreme Right parties to oppose gay rights. "Love between same sex partners is one of the first sins", states a priest. But many gay Romanians see it as their duty to fight for equal rights. "Who else will fight for us to be acknowledged?"
