Laws against gays
There are currently no laws against gays in Romania. Homosexuality was legalised in 1996, even though the last anti-gay law - Article 200 of the Penal Code, which criminalised public manifestations of homosexuality - was repealed only in 2001. The age of consent is equal for both heterosexual and homosexual sex, at 15 years of age.
Since 2000, there exists an anti-discrimination law that explicitly outlaws discrimination against sexual orientation. The law has been tested by the National Council against Discrimination (CNCD) and has been applied successfully. An example of this is when TAROM, the national air carrier, was reported to the CNCD and fined because it refused to allow gay partners to take advantage of its discounts for couples on Valentine's Day 2004. The situation was then rectified by TAROM. Sexual orientation refers to the sex, sexes, gender or genders, to which a person is attracted and which form the focus of a persons amorous or erotic desires, fantasies, and spontaneous feelings. ...

Gay life in the country Romania has made significant progress in gay rights legislation since 2000. Considering that the last anti-gay law was repealed only in 2001, attitudes towards gays are still quite discriminatory, particularly in rural areas. A gay rights march in Bucharest in 2005 was met with significant opposition from several groups, even though many of them were members of far-right political parties. A growing gay scene exists in the major Romanian cities, most particularly in Bucharest, which has a few gay clubs.
