LGBT organizations in Podgorica welcomed May 17 with a 3 days long film festival and a new publication on testimonies on social exclusion of the LGBT community.

LGBT Forum Progress released a new publication in the month of May. The new publication “Myths and stereotypes – Violence and hate speech towards the LGBT persons: Police and judicial practice in Montenegro” represents a testimony on the social exclusion of the LGBT community, that is, the social criminalization of LGBT persons.

Also Queer Montenegro held a 3 day long international queer film festival in Podgorica. The program started on May 18 and ended on May 20, attracting activists also from neighboring countries.

Participants’ cars were protected by the police, and protestors carried banners saying “Never hush, never share a crime”, which were written in English, Montenegrin and Turkish. Other banners spread words of love in the spirit of tolerance.

Photos of the two latest victims of homo/transphobia were laid alongside flowers and candles at the entrance to the embassy. A strong message was addressed to the Turkish Prime Minister, President and the Turkish Ambassador in Montenegro.

Activists also created a campaign entitled “Live Your Life” aimed at increasing the level of knowledge and awareness about homo/transphobia in Montenegrin society. The campaign represents the aspiration to create conditions in which LGBT people can fully enjoy respect and equality. It was also a message for other citizens to reconsider their actions and become aware of how hatred can influence words and actions.
