Serbia Gay Pride March Takes Place Undisturbed
Serbia Gay Pride March Takes Place Undisturbed
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Waving rainbow-colored flags, several hundred gay activists proceeded undisturbed through downtown Belgrade on Sunday thanks to the protection of thousands of riot police.
The march advanced for only several hundred meters through the empty Belgrade streets where shops were closed and public transport was stopped. Still, it was important symbolically as a rare public event staged by gays in this highly conservative Balkan country. Skirmishes were reported between small groups of extremists and police during and after the march, with soccer hooligans attacking liberal B-92 radio and TV station with flares and smoke bombs. Two policemen were injured, the station said. Also, the hooligans set one public bus on fire with flares, police said.
Water cannons, armored vehicles and riot police blocked traffic on the route of the march amid threats of attacks from extreme nationalists, as Serbia tried to show it respects human rights of all of its citizens as it seeks European Union membership.
“This is a very positive and strong message,” Michael Davenport, head of the EU mission in Serbia, told the pride rally. “It is also a strong message to those using the hate language.”
Belgrade Mayor Sinisa Mali who joined the march together with several foreign diplomats, government members and Serbian party leaders, said it was a chance to show that Belgrade is a world capital “where all of its citizens are equal.”
Officials allowed Sunday’s event despite fears of a repeat of the violence in 2010 when right-wing groups attacked a pride march in Belgrade, triggering clashes with police that left more than 100 people injured. Authorities banned gay rights marches planned for the following three years, citing security reasons.
Later Sunday, thousands of far-right supporters marched through downtown Belgrade in what their leaders said was “spiritual cleansing” of the capital after the pride event.

Michele Bachmann Clarifies Gay Marriage 'Is Boring, Not an Issue' Comment, Reminds People She's Still A Bigot – VIDEO
Michele Bachmann Clarifies Gay Marriage 'Is Boring, Not an Issue' Comment, Reminds People She's Still A Bigot – VIDEO
Republican and anti-gay activist Michele Bachmann has clarified comments made at last week’s right-wing Values Voter Summit conference that same-sex marriage is “not an issue” and is “in fact…boring,” reports WND.
Activist Michelangelo Signorile claimed that Bachmann made the comments in an interview he conducted with her on Sirius XM Progress.
However, in a follow-up interview, Bachmann says she meant that same-sex marriage “won’t be the issue that drives the 2014 election”:
“I told the reporter it’s getting boring having them only press this issue with Republicans while ignoring Democrats. The media loves to divide us on this issue. They look for something all the time. I said nothing different. I’m the woman who carried the traditional marriage amendment in Minnesota, and I stand firm in my belief that marriage should be between one man and one woman.”
The American Family Association’s resident wingnut Bryan Fischer – loves Burger King, hates gay sex – said that the issue of marriage equality is “far from settled”:
“Unfortunately, there are people in the conservative movement who have sort of given up. There are even evangelical leaders sending signals that the battle is over, that the battle is lost. ‘We’ll never be able to capture the millennials. They’re gone.’ I think it’s way premature for that. You know, when the homosexual lobby was [lost at the ballot in 31 states on marriage, they] didn’t quit. They didn’t give up. They didn’t do it. They didn’t give up, and neither are we.”
Always to be relied on for inflammatory hate speech that shows an absolute lack of any human compassion, in July, Bachmann claimed that gay people want to “abolish age of consent laws…so that adults will be able to freely prey on little children sexually.”

Photos: Pocket Gay Nelson Marin Is Underwear Model Of The Week
At 5’5 Nelson Marin has the star quality of pocket gays. He was discovered at the same time as his boyfriend, last week’s “Model of the Week” Marvin Garcia, by Baskit underwear photographer Rich Mackey.
Nelson isn’t as green to the game as Marvin, he use to figure model — yes, pose for art school students — and it’s no wonder why he was sought after. You can fit a lot into that tight frame of his, especially that bouncing booty.
