Tens of thousands attend Romania's biggest ever Pride march

Description

People waved rainbow flags and danced to celebrate the LGBTQ+ Pride in Romania's capital city Bucharest on Saturday. The march was attended by around 25,000 people, making it the biggest since the first pride parade took place in the country in 2005, according to ACCEPT NGO, one of the organisers. In May, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that EU member Romania, which does not allow same-sex marriage, was violating the rights of couples by refusing to recognise their unions. IMAGES
