Belorussian site Gay.By: At Noon participants in the gay pride celebrations in Modova were subjected to numerous attack by homophones, Nazis, religuous fanatics and anarchists:
Hundreds of homphobes threatened participants in the gay pride celebrations with violence. They threw stones and bottles at the office of the Gay Pride organizaiton. The hotel where participants were staying was also surrounded by hundreds of people. Belorussian visitors participating in the Gay Pride celebrations said religious fanatics and members of neo-fascist groups carrying stones and bottles surrounded the bus carrying participants in the Gay Pride Celebrations.
The demonstrators started to rock and shake the bus - so that we couldn't get out - eyewitness Sergey Androsenko from Belorus said, - causing panic in the bus as the passengers were unprotected and the situation was getting out of control.
Thankfully the bus driver reached an agreement with the rioters which required our surrender of all symbolic flag, multi-colouored baloons etc. in exchange for a way to get off the bus. We were able to leave the bus, and I am now at the hotel and probably safe, but people are gathered near the office of the organizer of Gay Pride "GednerDok-M"
As a reminder the participants of Gay Pride celebrations which took place in the capital Chişinău on May 7th planned to organize a procession and political aciton. Russian poetess Marina Chen participated in the Gay Pride. She was also in the bus locked in by the homo haters and obscurantists.
