Serbia caves to antigay thugs for third year in a row

The Serbian government has banned (after first approving it) a gay pride parade for the third consecutive year, blaming threats from right-wing groups, but insisting, in the words of the country's deputy prime minister Aleksander Vucic, that "hooligans have not defeated the state."
     EU envoy for Serbia Jelko Kacin says it was the "wrong decision at a wrong time."
     After learning of the ban, hundreds of proLGBT Serbians marched on the office of the country's prime minister.
