De ce nu se poate organiza un marș Pride în „Bible Belt-ul românesc”. Cazul de la Oradea

The Pride march in Oradea was denied authorization again, citing public opposition and local religious influence. Organizers claim institutional homophobia, while authorities reference numerous citizen complaints. Sociologist Adrian Hatos highlights the competitive religious environment in Bihor, contributing to the rejection of LGBTQ events. Despite the city's reputation, he argues that Oradea is not intolerant, but the local government is influenced by religious groups. The term 'good morals' was used for the first time to justify the denial, raising questions about its interpretation and the legality of such restrictions.
