Romanian Gay Pride Parade brings out riot police
BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Around 200 gay activists marched through Bucharest on Saturday in a heavily policed pride parade that defied efforts by religious and far-right groups to have the annual event banned.
Earlier this week, anti-gay groups tried to get a court to rule against the march, Romania's fifth annual gay festival.
Two counter-demonstrations were held ahead of the parade. At one, members of a far-right group chanted "Romania does not want you" in a protest they said was "against sin".
