(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, MAY 22 - The Gay Pride will be held in
Belgrade this year on October 6, it was announced today by the
organizing committee, pointing out that the gay parade will be
the culmination of a week of events and demonstrations which
will begin on September 30.
The Gay Pride's slogan will be "Love, Faith, Hope" Boban
Stojanovic, a member of the organization, told the press.
Last year the Belgrade Gay Pride had been cancelled in fear
of clashes and violence due to the threats of extremist groups
of ultranationalist homophobes, intentioned to prevent in any
way the parade from taking place. In 2010 the Gay Pride took
place but ended with violent fighting between police and
right-wing extremists resulting in hundreds of arrests and
people being injured. (ANSAmed).
