by Ana Simo JULY 2, 2002. Croatia had its first ever Gay Pride last Saturday. Two hundred intrepid people marched through the center of Zagreb, the capital, protected by a wall of riot cops holding plexiglass shields. "Silence is Humiliation," read a sign carried by a marcher. The rabidly Catholic and homophobic Croatian masses expressed their disapproval by staying home. The relatively few onlookers hurled insults at marchers and cops alike. They ranged from a guy brandishing a painted plaster image of the Virgin Mary to a large crowd of jeering skinheads who managed to lob a tear gas canisters at the marchers, in spite of the heavy security. The canister missed its intended target and the wind dispersed the fumes.
