SARAJEVO: More than two thousand people turned out in Sarajevo on Sunday in the city's first Gay Pride march to protest against the hate the LGBT community suffers in Bosnia.
Members of the LGBT community and others walked for 1,500 metres starting from a monument commemorating the liberation of the city at the end of WWII. Demonstrators carried the gay community's rainbow flags, blew whistles, played drums and shouted slogans along the route.Activist Lejla Huremovic celebrated the fact that members of the LGBT had, with this march, made themselves more visible.
"We demand a society in which we will together fight against violence, hatred, isolation and homophobia," said another activist, Branko Culibrk.In 2008 and again in 2014, radical islamists and thugs attacked people taking part in gay festivals.
