We Are Tolerant Bulgaria ENG

- The video does not claim to comprehensively show the public attitudes towards homophobia and transphobia in Bulgaria. Although the filmed experiments are real, this is rather an idealized image that we would like to be valid always and everywhere.

I am gay and teen that lives in Bulgaria. I hated Bulgaria as well due to the homophobic population ah.. . . . just when i grow up i dont know.. If there are any gay rights in Bulgaria i will move to the capital (sofia).. But if Bulgaria kept being homophobic, i am gonna immigrate abroad.. I am trying to study hard and learn english so i can have better future cause.. In bulgaria i will live in a hell just this country isnt safe. I swear i wont feel comfortable here.
Same but my problem is that I have homophobic parents
Don't move, stay and try to change your country. Studies show that most people end up supporting gay rights when they know someone who is gay.
@@rusttleten422 same, my parents are homophobic too..
@@ChopperSakura If the government, the president and if the politics cant change it then nobody will. Bulgarians are gay unfriendly community, its hard to survive. For example, walking around the street with your couple holding hands.. at the very least verbal abuse or something worse.. Immigration is the best option for me, most of the LGBT Bulgarian community is running abroad to get better life and to be accepted no matter their sexual orientation.
Basically my future is the same. Tbh the situation isn't better in Sofia. On 14th February I whore the pride flag at school on my cheeks. Like a 10% didn't looked at me like a monster. Its so sad😢
We, a female couple, just visited Sofia and people were more interested in our little dog, than in us as a couple. Very few people did the "bad look", but that was all - and sadly this is still a "normal thing" we have to live with almost everywhere.
But most important: we both had a good time in Sofia and our dog loved all the attention.
Yassen Yankov do you realy want an answer or did you just want to get some attention?
ElsebelseElsbeth he just wanted to get some attention because nobody gives him any 😂😂😂😂
ElsebelseElsbeth what a shut name. By the way they thought it was your sister so they didn't give to you attention
@@jansenvanderstrudel2789 hahahaha
By the way 🚫🏳️🌈🚫
@@judger4 how do you know that?
Omg! The girl in the last experience was awesome.
as a bulgarian born, ireland bred citizen, who moved to berlin not too long ago... this video gave me so much second hand anxiety!
Why?
I’ve the same question as the previous comment, Why?
Because homophobia in Bulgaria is in crazy levels. You literally beg for a beating with this behaviour- it's just too risky. Ah, and yeah, don't forget Sofia is not Bulgaria. Things get really dark outside the capital.
Do this experiment in Denmark, The Netherlands or Norway and we'll all get BORED! That's why I love Nordic countries. THEY ARE THE KIND OF SOCIETIES THE REST OF THE WORLD MUST EMULATE AND LOOK UP TO!!!! LEARN FROM THEM
omg totaly agree
That lady actually had a point.... there are certain situations where people in general should behave "correctly "
Yes they never did anything wrong, but there are people who feel uncomfortable with any kind of public afection, we must respect public spaces because we are not alone in the world
"What if it was a man and a woman?" - "not apropriate too"
I understand your point .. However if it was a straight couple nobody would say anything..I have witnessed that like a hundred times and not once did someone say something so it IS in fact a homophobic thing 😂😂
@@jansenvanderstrudel2789 its not disgusting.... You can only say it is, if youre a child or if you dont want to hold hands or to kiss anybody...
I doubt its your case,so stop calling "disgusting" things YOU also do
@@m.7877 It depends... Ive seen straight people kissing and people around complaining... Just like ive seen gay couples being "ignored".... Its not the place... Its the people around... Some will complain some will keep quiet and some will applause... Depends on who is near
Нікіта Лісоўскі I guess yeah
So, you understand that those people kissing also deserve respect, right? As you said, we're not alone in the world and they did nothing wrong, so they deserve to be respected. Felling "uncomfortable" it's not an excuse, as this is subjective. For example, I really hate some things like, the color green or hotdogs, every time I see someone using it or eating it, it makes me extremely uncomfortable; but that's just me, they are not doing anything wrong and other people may not mind it at all. So why should I demand that they stop just because I felt "uncomfortable"!? We live in society, we share the space and should be tolerant and respectful to others, even if we don't like something.
Personally I’d like to see positive and negative
Me as a non Bulgarian person who studies in Bulgaria I have to say that the racism in this country is crazy. People refuse to at least try to speak any English, I’ve had many situations where they would laugh at me from not speaking Bulgarian and many more. I’ve been living here for 4 years now and I’ve never felt welcomed.
yes, westoids who bring their degenerate ideologies are not welcome here, i promise you.
"they would laugh at me from not speaking Bulgarian. I've been living here for 4 years now" I mean wtf do you expect ? Bulgarians invented Cyrillic Alphabet and are very proud about that , making an effort in learning it would go a long way trust me.
And for four years you didn’t learn the language, so we are racist for not speaking English with you but are you not racist for not learning the language of the country that you do live for four years??? So who is bigger racist YOU or the Bulgarians living in their country and speaking their language?
Gays like you will never feel welcomed. True or not, you should stop acting like the homosexuals you are and be a normal human being.
1:40 it's beautiful that just a kid has given a lesson in tolerance to those homophobic old women...makes me have faith in the new generations of young people!! PARENTS PLEASE RAISE YOUR CHILDREN WITH LOVE, RESPECT AND TOLERANCE FOR ALL. Our world must change 💪✌❤👨❤️👨👩❤️👩💑
👏👏👏
🤮🤮🤮
I agree that it’s not appropriate to kiss someone in small public places like in a bus crowded with people, it doesn’t matter who; gay/straight…
Да, съвсем случайно "случайните" минувачи са с микрофони. Разбира се.
Пише, че има актьори, които го играят хомофоби за да видят реакцията на другите.
Wow, what a wonderful place😍 definitely have to put that on my holiday bucket list.
I am part Greek part Bulgarian and ever since i was 7 i'd go to Bulgaria for vacations and it's a BEAUTIFUL place to visit especially Sofia i feel like it's my second home it has amazing places to see a lot of forrests that i don't see in athens and you should also visit Burgas i went camping there when i was 15 and it was beautiful everynight the sky was filled with stars which i really wanna see again i really recommend it
Homophobia is unnatural and is thankfully dying out because of the decline of religio-politics, the dying off of older generation, the awareness that homosexuality is widespread across all species and races and the introduction of LGBT-inclusive teaching across school curricula worldwide. Nature's coming back! 😃😍🌈
Exactly kids need to be taught early on in school that sexuality can be fluid or that it’s ok to be or like what you like it’s natural and no one should feel alone, or different or be bullied for being different. And it must be taught in school in a wide spectrum because a lot of parents teach kids at home that it’s not ok to be gay and this causes internal conflict within children where they feel alone, develop self hate and become suicidal. Also when parents teach kids that it’s not ok to be gay they are also giving kids a reason to bully other kids who might be gay. Acceptance and tolerance for people who are different then you or the same as you is important in developing a strong foundation mentally, emotionally and physically because it is all connected. At the end of the day treat people the way you would like to be treated, let people love who they want to love, let us all live and let live in a safe and harmonious world. We all want to feel accepted, and loved, thank you.😊🙏✨
🤮🤮🤮
@@abangganteng2195shut it
Shut the f up. This is disgusting 🤮
Gosh how can someone say so f up like it's natural.. literally trying to rewire into thinking it's sane.. it's going to end up being one messed up thing in the near future.
it... depends really... It is not hard to notice there is a huge difference between eastern and western culture which is especially true when it comes to teh way words are used including where exactly their definitions start and end. If i talk with someone from the east i will say bulgaria is not homophobic, if i talk with someone who is clearly gotten way too used to what i see as a pathetic excuse of an ideology of the more far left i will say i am proud my country is homophobic.
It is different culture and if you visit you should at least understand it. You do not want to respect that most people do not find showing much phisical affection in public normal or acceptably and see it as impolite maybe even straight up rude, that is fine. But i do not see why would you complain about it afterwards. Because apperantly the world does not want to bend down for you.
I have not had a single actual homophobic experience. I am from Plovdiv, often visist Hisara, some smaller towns or villages around etc. What summarized bulgaria's "homophobia" is something that probably every second person will tell you and which i find completely fine, even good - "nothing wrong with it, it does not matter, and i do not care as long as it is not shoved into my face" or something like that
There was a lesbian girl in Bulgaria who recently was spit at and beaten up, she’s ok, but homophobia has got to stop.
What she did?
Is this staged?
👏👏👏
Πιθηκια πάρτε μάτι πως είναι ο πολιτισμός
I'm from Bulgaria and i think we are not for this😤........ but of my this is normal✌🏻
Try this shit in Russia and see
I gues you can't this things in indonesia, you got go to th jail!
Bener bat ni
Gay or straight we have an old saying in Bulgaria - ''Sex and fighting - at home!'' (arguing, scandals and such)
ABOMINATION
Можете да бъдете каквито искате само да ви радва
I think all the European countries are very very supportive
Given that the polish State just released Anit lgbtq laws i dont think so
Yep. All of them. Unless we‘re talking Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Russia, Turkey, Moldova, etc…
Nope
@@giovannieich7487 wait Switzerland? For real???
@@lannys9047 Yeah. Just for days ago, the governing SVP party compared homosexuals to islamists and in the past, they‘ve stated their belief that „SVP members experience way more discrimination than the average gay person“.
REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.
what are the children learning
Acceptance and logic
To give everyone a chance to live because lifes to short to live in such hatred
That people like you are wrong and belong to the past.
🤮🤮🤮
Foolishly, they fear righteousness and are brave against God who can destroy their bodies and souls in hell.
Likes sodom and gomorah
God SUCKS
Maybe not everyone is religious
@@george_672 Even a crooked fruitless stick makes a straight fire.
That's ridiculous. Straight or gay is horrible to be kissing and touching in public. Makes no sense.
im all for homosexualism, but in my opinion its fucking redicilous 2 make hateful speech a crime, after all its just an ignorant expression or a point of view from which you can always just turn away, now if they violate physically thats a whole different story
Divine Styg Stylez they could always turn away rather than say the bad things too! If someone said they want to murder some black kids that's not acceptable
LUST, AIDS, DEATH, HELL
I grieve for these men. Men born in Bulgaria, speaking Bulgarian language. And look what happened to the them.
Yuck..
Върнете Дъгата на Децата
