The March for Normality, Bucharest, Romania

Organized by Pro-Vita Orthodox Federation, the Romanian Family Alliance, and the Romanian Orthodox Forum, The March for Normality is being organized every year as a reaction to GayFest, opposing gay rights and promoting christian family values.
The march started at 17.30 on May 22nd 2009, in Bucharest. Around 400 persons took part in this year's march, praying, singing religious songs and the Romanian anthem. They carried along banners like "For a normal family say NO to sodomy", "Wake up!" "Romania is not Sodom", "In whose hands are our children?" "We want a father and a mother, not two fathers or two mothers", "God created man and woman", "You ruined the economy, save at least the family".
The March was organized after family and religious principles: "Our children will lead us, the priests in the second row, and the rest will follow" and "7 by 7" said one of the organizers.
The March ended around 20.00 with several speeches held by representatives of the organizing institutions stating that homosexuality is a sexual perversion", "sexual perversions are contagious psychical diseases" and calling all Romanians to wake up and "stop the homosexual epidemic".
Another similar march was held on May 23, a few hours before the Gay Parade.
