While participants in the demonstration gathered at the intersection of Bucharest and Ismail streets, dozens of priests and parishioners were seen near the "Stefan cel Mare" Public Garden in Chisinau, TV8 reports. They are against the Moldova Pride march.
Several events have taken place over the past few days and this is the only week in the year when members of LGBT communities and their supporters take to the streets to express solidarity with each other and demand their rights.
Every year, the Moldova Pride Festival takes place in parallel with a social campaign to raise awareness of the most pressing and topical challenges facing the community. The theme of this year's campaign is civil partnership/same-sex marriage.
