Rad predstavlja istraživanje o stavovima LGBT populacije prema sektoru bezbednosti u Srbiji. U toku pet fokus grupa rađenih sa LGBT osobama, utvrđene su osnovne karakteristike odnosa policije prema seksualnim manjinama. Kroz odnos policije, postoji pokušaj da se odredi delovanje institucija prema homoseksualnosti. U samom istraživanju utvrđene su i razlike koje postoje među ispitanicima s obzirom na njihov status i veličinu mesta stanovanja. Rad se osvrće i na dešavanja kao što su Parade ponosa koja dovode do ispoljavanja anti-gej opcija i političkih sukoba. ; This paper presents a survey of LGBT attitudes towards the security sector in Serbia. During the five focus groups with LGBT persons, we determined the basic characteristics of police attitudes towards sexual minorities. By examining the relationship between the police and the sexual minorities, the author attempts to determine the institutional practice towards homosexuality. The study also notes the differences between respondents based on their status and the size of their place of residence. This paper looks at events such as the Pride Parade, which lead to the appearance of anti-gay factions and political conflicts.

Pride Parades and LGBT Movements contributes to a better understanding of LGBT protest dynamics through a comparative study of eleven Pride parades in seven European countries – Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK – and Mexico. Peterson, Wahlström and Wennerhag uncover the dynamics producing similarities and differences between Pride parades, using unique data from surveys of Pride participants and qualitative interviews with parade organizers and key LGBT activists. In addition to outlining the histories of Pride in the respective countries, the authors explore how the different political and cultural contexts influence: Who participates, in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and political orientations; what Pride parades mean for their participants; how participants were mobilized; how Pride organizers relate to allies and what strategies they employ for their performances of Pride. This book will be of interest to political scientists and sociologists with an interest in LGBT studies, social movements, comparative politics and political behavior and participation.
