Here is a video of the anti-gay protest in Sofia that I wrote about here. The admirers of the guy in the blue shirt can see him for awhile at the very beginning. ;)
I don't know which TV filmed it.




My translation of gems from David,  the boy in the white shirt (definitely some "nationalist" type):
at 0:17-0:39:
Journalist: Why are you protesting today?
David: Because I disagree with the gay perversions in the centre of Sofia next week.  And I wouldn't want things here to become like in America, like in, say, Spain. It's just not normal, that's not a normal country. I want to be normal. That's why I went out to show my position, like all people here. 
at 1:09 to 1:20, Let them be what they are, but not show it in the street, because if they do it my children will see this thing in 5-10 years from now, and they'll think to themselves, "Oh, it would be good for me to be gay", and my child will go gay in a year or two!

A gem from Slavi, the boy in black shirt and black cap, at 1:36-2:26:  They are using the gay parade to say, "we are repressed and there should be more rights for us", so they'll get civil partnerships and all[...] I am not against the gays, they have to be like that, but not to demonstrate their perversion in front of the society. That is a disease that has to be treated.

Angel, a student of theology, at  2:26: It's not God's will, this is from the devil. If it were God's will, God wouldn't create Eve, a man and a woman.

Don't think that these people are some isolated cases of homophobia. I read things like this, and even worse, at Bulgarian Internet forums, blogs, etc. that are supposed to be about politics* or in comments to news pages. 

*The party of the Greens declared that it supports the Rainbow Friendship event (what these people protest against), and even some of the party's supporters are angry with it.

Note for those who are unfamiliar with Eastern Orthodox Christianity: If you are wondering what the saints have to do with the whole thing - they are depicted in the icons those people are carrying. Yes, this version of Christianity has icons in its churches. But this use of the icons to promote homophobia is somewhat original - I guess our homophobes picked it up from the Russian ones who have already established such a "tradition".  The interesting part is that it set some true Christians against them here in Bulgaria. There were quite a few indignant comments to a certain news page about such use of icons to promote hatred.
