The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people) community in Moldova gave up mounting the sexual minorities’ parade this year as well. The Information Center “Gender Doc-M” will organize only the tenth festival “Rainbow over the Nistru” during May 10-12, Info-Prim Neo reports. Angela Frolov, coordinator of the program “Lobby and Advocacy” of “Gender Doc-M”, told a news conference that this year’s theme of the festival is “United for equality, let’s act!”. Unlike the previous years, there will be staged several events open for the general public. Angela Frolov said that this year was a hot year with many statements that affected the dignity of members of the LGBT community and many politicians used the LGBT persons for PR. “We organize the festival in order to speak about equal rights, equality and dignity. We are all equal and have human dignity and this is the key message we want to transmit,” she stated. “Gender Doc-M” executive director Anastasia Danilova said that a ceremony to unveil the commemorative plaque “Victims of Homophobia” will be held on the first day of the festival. It represents a metallic triangle that contains a fragment of the granite of the Amsterdam gay monument. As the previous years, the participants in the festival will commemorate the victims of the totalitarian regimes and will lay flowers at the Monument to Victims of Repression. On the second day of the festival, there will take place social activities for the LGBT community, but they will be closed for the public and the press. May 12 was declared the day of theater and cinema – “Documentary Marathon”. There will be screened the documentary “Human rights on the screen: sexual minorities”, whose showing on the public TV channel was banned until now, and the Romanian film “We Two”.
