For the last couple of years the issue of freedom of assembly for LGBT people actualised in various countries of Central and Eastern Europe where LGBT people are organising their first Pride events. These events plus a wave of homophobia by Christian fundamentalists, ultra nationalists and conservatives, are changing perception of Pride events in other European countries where Pride events are peacefully taking place for many years and for many people in these countries pride events are getting a new meaning of solidarity, fight for equality and human rights with a new strength.
