The small Balkan country is generally a traditional one and the majority of its citizens oppose both the annual pride and this parade at a European scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Europride organizers announced that more than 20,000 homosexuals and transexuals from all over the world were to come to Belgrade, and that visits to schools were also planned, Serbian pro-family associations and the Orthodox Church got together and organized <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en?s=cross+procession\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive religious processions<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/tag\/europride-2022-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">show their opposition<\/a> to this event and to demand a ban of it. Two religious processions in August brought around 40-50,000 people into the streets, while the third one boasted almost 100,000 in attendance. At the end of the third procession, the Serbian Patriarch Porfirije and many bishops held a prayer service for the sanctity of marriage, with the Patriarch ending it with <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/patriarch-porfirije-the-goal-of-europride-is-to-transform-our-society-our-values-our-way-of-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a magnificent sermon<\/a> in which he exposed the LGBT ideology for what it truly is \u2013 \u201ctheir goal is to transform our society, our values, our way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"935\" src=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi3-750x935-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169430\" \/><figcaption>An Italian national at Europride 2022, mocking Jesus Christ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The epilogue was a <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/victory-serbian-president-cancels-europride-22-in-belgrade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ban on the Europride march<\/a>, issued by the Serbian Administrative Court. Europride organizers then asked for a different route and gathered in front of the Court on the appointed day to \u201cprotest the Court\u2019s ban.\u201d Guarded by almost 6,000 police in full riot gear, they walked for full 700 meters to a nearby stadium where a concert was later held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of several ambassadors, local leftist politicians and Marxist activists, the actual number of Europride participants was around 300\u2013a far cry from the 20,000+ that the organizers had hoped for. Thus, the people of Serbia won a battle in the war on science, reason, faith and human nature. And not only did these \u201crain on the gay\u2019s parade\u201d, but it actually rained the whole day, turning the \u201crainbow\u201d event into a sad spectacle of <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/the-europride-fiasco-and-the-end-of-the-serbian-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wet and cold scantily clad participants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi1-1-750x536-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi1-1-750x536-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi1-1-750x536-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi1-1-750x536-1-350x250.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>A far cry from the magnificent rainbow-colored event with 20K in attendance the organizers had hoped for.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>When footage of the magnificent religious processions was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M9sSVcEIrrM&amp;t=1s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posted on YouTube by an independent media outlet<\/a>, many commented that if something of the kind took place in the US, all those people with crucifixes and icons would end up in jail for daring to stand up to the untouchable \u201csexual minorities.\u201d This speaks a lot about the state of affairs in the West in terms of the freedom of thought and speech.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Evroparaderi4-618x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169438\" \/><figcaption>An Albanian national showing disrespect to Christianity in front of St. Mark&#8217;s Church in Belgrade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let the gender ideologues shut you up and frighten you into silence.
