Sorry that you cannot feel safe here in Slovakia: President Zuzana Čaputová to the LGBT+ community.
The march was staged as a reaction to the terrorist attack in which a 19-year-old radicalized man killed two men from the LGBT+ community on the evening of October 12, 2022, in front of Tepláreň, one of the few LGBT+ spots in the city.
"Many say that LGBTI+ people are an ideology. But I saw the blood of my friends on the sidewalk. I saw their shot bodies, no ideology. I testify on behalf of the murdered Matúš. I testify on behalf of the murdered Juraj. I testify on behalf of the shot Radka. Please testify on their behalf too. Each and every one of you has a voice that must be heard. Together we will stop the hate. Thanks to you and your voices, love will win," Tepláreň owner Roman Samotný told the crowd in his speech that echoed the statements he had previously voiced in interviews with the media.
Please help! Rainbow PRIDE Bratislava and Iniciatíva Inakosť are a non-profit, volunteer project. However, their financial resources are very limited. We believe that we can keep LGBT+ right alive.
