69%~ of Bulgarians disagree with gay marriage. Only 17%~ think gay marriage should be allowed in Europe in general.
In 2024 they passed your typical "gay propaganda" bill meaning that issues related to or affecting gay people cannot be discussed, even sexual health etc.
As a gay dude who never got being gay mentioned, or requisite sexual health advice when I was in school (in NZ) and took several hard years of not understanding what was wrong when I was trying to force myself to be hetero:
I don't think they deserve this. They don't deserve the financial boons and convenience of the Euro area. But then others will disagree of course; we're tribal - the gays are my tribe and might not be yours, but the difference between you and me I suppose is that I'd complain if they were known to have laws or persecute any particular group, not just my own tribes.
I totally agree with you, but is not just the progressive views on gay marriage on the EU that are at risk, is any progressive thinking. There's a wave of right wing backward thinking around the EU, and we keep adding more countries like Hungary.
