Straight and narrow? Some people aren't ready to embrace a rainbow world. On May 23, the day of Bucharest's pride parade, members of the far-right Romanian organization Noua Dreapta (The New Right) marched with signs reading, "No to homosexual marriages and adoptions." About 500 people were expected for the pride parade, and 300 for Noua Dreapta's "promote normality" parade. In previous years, people from extremist right-wing and religious groups have attacked pride parade participants. Eastern Europe tends to be less tolerant on LGBT issues than Western Europe, leading one Brussels-based activist to tell the BBC, "A pink curtain divides us."
