The 2010 Romanian Gay March was small but safe

A lot of journalists, enough supportive people and just a few members of the LGBT community... Only their leaders. Around 200 people.

Nice atmosphere, like for a celebration, with a plus brought by the group from the British Embassy, a supporter of the event. They gave a little glimpse from a true Pride. Overall things were as it supposed to be.

ACCEPT organized carefully the Diversity March. Security all over, two empty boulevards, police, gendarmes. The participans were more secure than a president. They prepared to deal with a huge crowd. But it wasn't one.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Brianna Caradja, the Gay Friendly Princess of Romania

Brianna Caradja is the most important gay symbol of modern Romania. She is a Princess, she is straight and she is gay friendly. So the gay community adopted her as their asset, a Romanian version of a Princess Diana. Brianna speaked freely in an exclusive interview for StiriGay.ro about her relationship with the community, about her unfortunate experiences with her ex-husband and about her future as a supporter of the Romanian Gay movement.

Although you're not a member of the LGBT community, you rapidly become a symbol of it because of your gay friendly atitude and, even more, because you are a supporter of the community. What was the experience or who did you ended to be close to the gays?
I like the way you put the question. :))) Exactly, I am not a member because I am totally straight. But, I am adopted by the community. I love telling that because it describes best this situation.
