Bulgaria’s bent boys and girls came out to show their pride this weekend. Unfortunately for them, however, a group of anti-gay activists, most of them skinheads, also took to the streets, but with an entirely different mission: destruction.
Eighty-eight people have been arrested for trying to attack participants in Bulgaria’s first-ever gay pride march, the interior ministry said Sunday.
They include Nationalist Union leader Boyan Rasate, who faces legal proceedings for hooliganism, the ministry said, after he launched a campaign against Saturday’s march and urged people to openly resist it.
…
The march came under attack from nationalists and skinheads who were seen booing the small procession and throwing rocks, firecrackers and at least one petrol bomb at it.
Tsk, tsk. Don’t these people know how expensive gas is these days?!

The sad thing is that if Bulgaria wasn’t in the EU, the police and the government wouldn’t have cared.

Is this why Hitler’s Reich was destroyed; so that neo-Nazis could enter government and attack law abiding citizens? Between the far-right and Islamofacists Europe is fucked.
CitizenGeek
Nah, I think you’re wrong. The level-headed EU keeps the loony far-right in check, and I suspect they’ll follow suit with the same approach to fundamentalist Islamists, too.

John Santos you utter tosspot – are you a friend of that anal-fissure Bill Perdue? Cos you both talk utter cock-custard, thought you must be related.
“Is this why amerikkka was created, so that Neo-Nazis like George Bush could enter govt and screw the fucking planet? Between the neo-cons and and the religious fundies the US is fucked”

I sucked a Bulgarian skinhead in Sofia several years ago. It was delightful. He wanted money, of course; and I willingly stuffed his pants……..

I think you’re right CitizenGeek.

Greybat,
the USA would fail on the most basic entry requirements to join the EU (Human Rights, let alone corruption and viable legal system, plus all that gun owning insanity)- so you got no chance of getting in.
Sorry.
You could always invite Turkey to join the USA though, now that would be fun and ironic- especially since the US is so damned keen to force the EU to let Turkey join.
