A Looks at Serbia's Gay Community and the Violent, Anti-LGBT Forces Working Against Them: VIDEO

A Looks at Serbia's Gay Community and the Violent, Anti-LGBT Forces Working Against Them: VIDEO

Serbia

Serbia’s embattled gay community, which last month held its first pride parade in four years (government officials had cancelled subsequent parades citing security risks), is the subject of a new Vice News report featuring both parade-goers and the country’s right-wing, religious-led efforts to try and stop September’s parade from happening.

The arguments made by anti-LGBT protesters featured in the video would honestly be laughable if they weren’t so disturbing. One protester claims the government is allowing the parade to happen “so that the American porn industry can film their porn films on all of our main squares” while another says the government has “reduced our wages and pensions” in order to pay for the parade. Interspersed between these absurd claims are clips showing the anti-gay mob chanting “kill, kill kill the fa**ots.” Unsettling stuff to be sure. 

The country’s resilient LGBT community didn’t let the hate stop them this year, but the video makes it clear there is much work to be done in terms of educating the public about LGBT issues and eliminating homophobia.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP

Me Speak English Good: When Homophobes Fail With Their Antigay Signage

Me Speak English Good: When Homophobes Fail With Their Antigay Signage

6a00d8341c730253ef01b7c6f5c7ad970b-300wiA couple in Meridian, Idaho made headlines last week after painting antigay statements on the back of their pickup truck then cruising around town.

Justin and Melanie Sease told their local news station that they’ve made it their personal mission to protest marriage equality the state of Idaho because, they say, if they don’t, “homosexual extremists” will “spread like a cancer.”

One of the things the couple wrote on their vehicle were the words “HOMOsexuality is a sin and a [sic] abomination.”

Bless their hearts, the Seases didn’t seem to notice their error: “abomination” should be “an abomination.”

According to Melanie, the couple now receives all sorts of “waves, smiles, or honks” when they’re out driving.

“They like that we’re takin’ a stand for the voters in Idaho and for the heavenly Father,” Justin added.

Perhaps.

Or perhaps they’re trying to alert the Seases to the embarrassing grammatical error splashed across the back of their rusted out Chevy.

Check out these other times when homophobes completely failed with their antigay signage.

Perhaps the most offensive part about this sign is how he spelled the word “defecation.”
