gay's happiness in romania

Until 1996 gay romania was illegal under Article 200 of the penal code. In June 2001 the Romanian Government sought to abolish Article 200 but it was only on 14th January 2002 that final approval to abolition this Article was given by the Romanian Parliament and Presidency. Meanwhile, in September 2000 Romania introduced anti-discrimination law which provided protection from discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation (oddly though this was before homosexuality was actually legalised!) The position for gays has therefore improved enormously over the last few years. In 2005, Romania's first Gay Pride event was held despite strong opposition from the Mayor, the Police, the Government and the Church. Following international pressure the President relented and the March was allowed. Following the legalising of homosexuality in Romania in 2002 the gay scene in Romania has improved hugely. Though the scene is still mostly out-door cruising gay or gay friendly bars have started to appear in Bucharest and some of the other main cities of Romania. Check out the websites below. We think that Romania could make for an interesting alternative holiday destination. such as Miss travesti . One would feel happy when he visits Romania in Gay Fest 2008, which is a festival especial for gay in Romania every year.
