Romania is a Christian Orthodox country. It was about 90% orthodox (Orthodoxy is one of the most antifag branches of Christianity) on paper on previous referendums but has dropped in the later ones. It's still way over 50% orthodox, probably over 75%, but then again, it's mostly on paper because they are not practicing. I see Churches get emptier and emptier and most people i know that consider themselves religious don't really care about it, they just say they are but don't do anything about it. I doubt most of them pray to begin with. Many of the actual Christians are old (50+) and will die in a few decades at most.
Romania also used to be very conservative socially, as were most eastern european countries, but that changed drastically with ((democracy)), european union etc. I was born around the 90s and i've seen the decline happen. Degeneracy started with and was mostly driven by TV and newspapers. The next big bump was when youtube and other US social networks became widely available both on pc and mobile, somewhere around 2010-2015
Now onto fags
This is Bucharest fag parade 2006 (use translate). just 500 fags and more people on the sides literally throwing rocks at them https://hotnews.ro/violente-la-parada-homosexualilor-in-bucuresti-2-871473
This is Bucharest fag parade 2024 https://youtu.be/deDnUaq4v2I?t=14

Allegedly 27k fags and pro-fags participated. Numbers are probably inflated but you can watch the clips and see there's a fuckload of them
This shift took less than 20 years to happen. And please remember this happened in one of the most religious (Christian) countries and one of the most conservative counties (in respect to other european/white countries)
Back in 2018 we had a referendum about fag marriage (the romanian orthodox Church got heavily involved to make it happen, some politicians as well).
This was going to change the CONSTITUTION so that fag marriage was explicitly forbidden. To change the constitution you need 2/3 of the votes, not 50%+1. So the tactic for fags and pro-fags was not to show up to make it near impossible to pass it.
Only 20% of romanians voted and while this resulted in a 91% against fag marriage, the referendum has failed and the constitution was not changed (it's still a good precedent and reference point to have but nowhere near as good or permanent as a constitution change)
Remember the statistics i mentioned at the beginning? Romania absolutely had enough people to pass this even with the other side not participating but they didn't care enough to spend 30 minutes of their life to vote. About 74% of romanians opposed gay marriage at that time as shown in polls (and from my own experience living here it was about right)
But this is the thing, "opposing fag marriage" does not mean actively opposing it like we do here or like the people that participated in the referendum. "opposing fag marriage" only means they'd not personally vote FOR it if they were forced to vote either way. They don't care if OTHERS pass it.
this post was inspired by this community reaction over some other random fag marriage polling i posted today. https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/p/19A1GsoeEa/fag-marriage-support/c
If they support... then I won't be asking for their help nor will I offer any.
Make a list, check it twice.
