Ridiculous opponents of Bulgaria's gay parade

Several organisations have announced their opposition to the Sofia Pride gay parade taking place in the Bulgarian capital on Saturday. The Orthodox Church describes the event as an "uncouth and shameful display of sodomist sin". The weekly Kapital criticises the Bulgarians' intolerance: "Instead of being a lively party that brings colour and joy into Sofia's cultural life along with the music festivals, the Pride [parade] will as usual be overshadowed by fear, aggression and despicable slogans. Each time it takes place, those who want to demonstrate their right to be different face a larger number of those who oppose them. In contrast to Berlin, where everyone comes together to celebrate a wild party, the Bulgarian participants don't even wear provocative clothing or makeup. This makes the posters and whistling [of the opponents] appear even more ridiculous."
