I may have to do a placement in Serbia, am I am slightly worried about being gay out there. I have a few Serbian friends, and they are aware of my sexuality but I have heard that the same Orthodoxy that is responsible for the hatred in Russia exists in Serbia and Belgrade Pride was met with some violence. That aside I love Serbia its a beautiful country and I know I would be alright if I keep my sexuality quiet and between a few friends who I can trust, plus it will only be for a month. Does anyone else think this is a big insane?
I would advise you to be very discreet. What you said about the place is largely true. No it's not insane, but just be careful and inconspicuous.
Thats the plan. I have spent a summer in Malaysia where homosexuality carries both a substantial prison sentence and corporal punishment (they lock you up for 5 years and give you a few hundred canings while you are there) but then I was in the closet so it was probably easier. But nothing bad happened
