"Love is in the Air, Homophobia is in the Dark," "Let's hug in front of everyone so they see how numerous we are," read some of the banners held by the participants who were waving rainbow flags and beating drums. Some 200 special police cordoned off their path during the one-hour parade that ended with a gathering and a concert at central Zrinjevac park. "It's important to send a message that gays and lesbians are part of our society and that they should be accepted," Maja Marsic, 30, told AFP. "Society has to be sensitised over the issue and people should accept that homosexuals are among them, that they are their friends and colleagues," her girlfriend Dragana, a 26-year-old psychologist, stressed. Meanwhile, an anti-gay protest, organised by an ultra-rightist party, gathered a few dozen people at the main Trg Bana Josipa Jelacic square. The anti-gay protestors, sealed off by police, were waving Croatian flags and chanted "You are not Croatia," "You don't have a reason to be proud." Croatia's society is still largely conservative and the powerful Catholic Church has publicly labeled homosexuality a "handicap" and a "perversion". Almost 88 percent of the former Yugoslav republic's population of 4.4 million are Roman Catholics. Croatia's first Gay Pride parade was held in 2002 when more than a dozen participants of the march were beaten up afterwards.
