CHISINAU -- Moldova's north-central city of Balti is emerging as a key hotspot in the latest controversy threatening to split the impoverished country in two.
One of the best things about being a Member of the European Parliament is that I get to meet very special people. Heads of state, politicians, entertainers, experts and activists from all over the world. Among those who impressed me most in the past year, is Anastasia. Anastasia is a wonderful lesbian girl who tries hard to make her country a safe place for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people. Anastasia lives in Moldova, a poor little country wedged between Romania and Ukraine.
On 31 March 2011 Moldova’s Government decided to withdraw draft law on preventing and combating discrimination, which also includes prohibition of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation, from Parliament. 
The Ministry of Justice has published on its web site the report on 2004-2008 National Human Rights Action Plan implementation. It is worth mentioning here that Moldova has taken two responsibilities in execution of nondiscrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation – to amend legislation in order to observe sexual minorities’ rights and to promote tolerant attitude to this social group. According to the explanations presented in the report, authorities have fulfilled their objectives not completely. After the detailed analysis it becomes clear that the officials have made not proved allegations in some cases. 
Let us face that article titled ”Non-traditional Team” published on March, 20 2009 in Internet portal “Moldnews” became a surprise for us. It says that “at the press conference of the chairman of SDPM, Dmitrii Bragish which took place that day someone asked the question ‘Why the information calling for to vote for D.Bragish and Eduard Mushuc appeared at the site of Moldovan sexual minorities ‘lgbt.md’?” 
It is not the first attempt of the human rights activists to attract the attention of the public for the inobservance of new law about the meetings by the police. The organizers of the meeting say that law enforcement organs chase the demonstrators. But what has happened on 3d February at daytime at the building of the Prosecutor General’s Office, it even difficult to describe…
Last Friday at the front door of the Parliament, the march of the representatives of some Christian organizations and Moldovan churches against the anti-discrimination law including provisions against discrimination based on sexual orientation took place. 
Last Saturday, July 22, a not-so-ordinary event took place in Causeni. The festival organised within the framework of the European Youth Campaign “All Different – All Equal” exceeded all expectations.
In a letter (BELOW) sent today Human Rights Watch called on the mayor and on the Moldovan government to ensure that peaceful demonstrations proceed without interference, and that legislation outlawing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is passed as a matter of priority.
Last Friday, Chisinau City Hall examined the petition from the Information Centre “GenderDoc-M” to organize the March of solidarity with the LGBT community for adoption of anti discrimination law in front of the building of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. The event is planned for May 5 of the current year within the V Pride “Rainbow over Nistru”.
