		<description>Mark,

America did not cause this problem with Bosnian gay pride, that is something to do with their local culture which is not used to such things that are taken for granted in more advanced parts of the world. Bosnia and other parts of the Eastern European countries are homophobic even though at this time there are no Eastern European countries remaining where being gay is illegal. 

Even in Armenia (Hayastan), Azerbaijan and the counry of Georgia (Sakartvelo) and even in Turkey (all with cultures that have both European and Asisn influences) gay is legal but not largely popular.

Being gay is legal in Bosnia and in all of the other republics of the former Yugoslavia, with Slovenia being the best of the former republics in the beautiful Alpine region of Europe (the only Slavic land in the Alps)bordering on Italy and with at least something akin to gay civil unions in their land. Slovenia is the only part of the former Yugoslavia to give official recognition to gay relationships, even though the benefits are few compared to other more western and more northern parts of Europe. All of which has to do with regioaal and local cultures and nothing to do with America.</description>

		<description>Bosnian Muslims calling for the death of queers and showing intolerance should remember that not too long ago they were the target of bigotry and violence. Maybe they haven&#039;t learnt anything from that experience.</description>
