Catholic, Orthodox leaders blast Bulgarian gay pride march
June 29, 2009
A joint letter signed by five Bulgarian Catholic and Protestant leaders has denounced a June 27 gay pride march in Sofia. “As representatives of Christian religion in Bulgaria we want to express our deepest concern about the organising of gay parade in Sofia for a second year in a row,” said a joint letter. “Such parades discredit the authority of the family institution as a union between a man and a woman. By allowing the aggressive display and public parade of homosexual orientation and way of life, you put Bulgaria in serious danger.” The letter follows condemnations of the march by the Bulgarian Orthodox patriarch and the leader of the nation’s Muslims.
