Montenegro: LGBT Activists Stage Pride March Despite Anti-Gay Mob

HeadlineOct 21, 2013

In Montenegro, a small group of LGBT people held the first-ever gay pride march in the country’s capital, Podgorica, despite being outnumbered 10-to-1 by violent, anti-gay extremists. Some 2,000 police officers guarded the group of 150 marchers as they braved an anti-gay mob that hurled firebombs and rocks. An organizer said, “As of today, gay people are no longer invisible in Montenegro.”
