Thousands of LGBTQ+ supporters took to the streets of Romania ’s capital Saturday for its annual gay pride parade.

Marchers of all ages walked through Bucharest 's streets and down the central Victory Avenue , as many waved colorful flags, blew whistles and held placards that read: "Be proud, be bold, be you!” This year marks 24 years since Romania decriminalized homosexuality.

Right-wing groups who advocate for traditional family values and oppose same sex marriage held an anti-LGBT countermarch.
