Last weekend we had the first ever Pride in Split. This was also the first time ever that LBGTQ community acted in a visible way in public space in the 1700 years old city. For a conservative society deeply influenced by the catholic church Pride was a huge shock. And the local population reacted in that way. Before Pride the city was covered with numerous anti-gay and anti-gay pride graffiti. No one cared to officialy condemn or remove them. Even today, a week after Pride, they are still standing on city facades.
