1,000 in Romanian gay pride march amid moves to limit rights
None
Some 1,000 people joined a gay pride march in the Romanian capital of Bucharest on Saturday, demanding greater rights amid government moves they say will curtail their rights.
Some 30 ambassadors expressed support for the march and for protecting the rights of the LGBT community and US Ambassador Hans G. Klemm was among those taking part, despite the pouring rain.
The gay pride march, now in its 13th year in Romania, comes after lawmakers approved an initiative that could amend Romania's constitution to explicitly state that marriage is a union between a man and woman. The wording now is a union between "spouses."
