Organiser Hana Konatar on stage addressing crowd 3. SOUNDBITE (Montenegrin) Hana Konatar, organiser of Pride march: "The responsibility for a better future lies upon all of us. Only if we are well informed and aware - we can make some changes. I am wearing a Lucifer costume, because ever since I was a kid I felt a fire from hell. This fire was lit the first time when someone called me a 'faggot,' that was at a time when I didn't even know what that meant. They were telling me I was wrong, they were insulting me, they were looking at me with hate, all of this lit a fire of shame inside of me, and still to this day, I have to put down this fire." 4. Konatar leaving stage, kissing boyfriend 5. SOUNDBITE (Montenegrin) Danijel Kalezic, organiser of Pride march: "No more buts: that's the message of the LGBT community in Montenegro. We are not going to make anymore compromises in relation to our human rights. We demand absolute equal human rights, like all other citizens have. We need to have equal rights, we are equal people to all others, we are also members of the community." 6. Woman carrying poster reading (Montenegrin) "Our freedom is your freedom" 7. SOUNDBITE (Montenegrin) Stasa Vrbica, organiser of Pride march: We gathered here for the 10th time. Ten years in a row with the same goal. To show that we are human beings. Living creatures made of flesh and blood. We have our wishes and dreams, but we have been rejected and ignored, discriminated and trampled upon because of love." 8. March    STORYLINE: Several hundred people on Saturday joined an LGBTQ pride march in Montenegro, held amid strong opposition from the influential Serbian Orthodox Church in the small conservative Balkan country. Montenegro's 10th pride event was dubbed "No more buts," reflecting demands that more be done to stem hate speech and harassment of LGBTQ community despite huge steps that have been made in the past years. Montenegro is a highly conservative, male-dominated society and initial pride marches here were marred with violence. As the country seeks European Union membership, authorities have backed pride events in recent years and approved same-sex partnerships in 2020. On the eve of the march, the influential Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro held a prayer protest against the pride march, saying it jeopardises traditional values and family. Hundreds attended the church-led protest, including some pro-Serb officials. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
