Macedonia's new anti-discrimination law sparked controversy on Friday, as gay activists and the European Union criticised the bill for not including sexual orientation discrimination.

one more 'slip-up' in the long list of things going wrong in Macedonia

A real shame. Its sad that in this day and age people still have to fight to be seen as equal.

the name is FYROM pls! When you say Macedonia you refer to Greece!!!

To Cyprus Pride: The name is Macedonia and the problem is LGBT rights not YOUR problem with the name. Focus on the subject
Svetlana Geleva
The previous comments on Macedonia only show that certain people do not know what discrimination means as to be able to fight it. In all respects.

I think it is amazing how people still find little issues like that to be relevant enough to even comment them. Who cares where you're from? Who cares what the name is of that place? It's just a name, we're all residents of this planet and are all equal. I also think that both Greece and Macedonia have a lot more important issues to resolve rather than a stupid pride issue such as a name...

My nationality is Lesbian. I don't care about territories or nationalities. I am a European and I fight for equal rights for everybody, no matter if from Fyrom, Macedonia, Zimbabwe, USA or Brazil. Whenever a gay person is discriminated in any corner of this world, I am being discriminated as well. Milk was American, but his fight has been for everybody's benefit.

we must always fight for Equal

I am greek and I call it Macedonia. Can we get back to the real problem now please? For me it is a shame that sexual orientation was not included, but in the long run I think it is important to see how inclusive this law is, in terms of covering different areas of life. If it covers everything (employment, healthcare, education, provision of goods and services, social security, etc) then it will eventually have to be expanded to include sexual orientation, in order for Macedonia to become a full member of the EU. This way Macedonia will end up with quite a good and inclusive law regarding sexual orientation discrimination.

Different paths can lead to the same goal, I agree Themis. However, this doesn't mean political pressure shouldn't be pressed towards Macedonia, or Greece for that matter.

Off topic once again Marianna

Marianna, I am from Thessaloniki and call the Republic of Macedonia "Republic of Macedonia", this is the correct term ("SWSTA"). Apart from that, we should respect the linguistic differences of ILGA-supporters and write in English.
Marianna Mourgos
Ok ok,just like in any democracy everyone has his/her own opinions,isn't it right?
Therefore,
I'll get back to my effort on promoting LGBTQ rights and equal representation of LGBTQ culture in UK museums,and leave the rest to you..
It's better for each of us to deal with the field/domain we are more specialised :)
