It is unfortunate. Thankfully there are still two organizations in Armenia. WFCE (We For Civil Equality (www.wfce.am) and PINK Armenia (pinkarmenia.blogspot.com)
The national tolerances towards gay&lesbian community is non existent.Lately you had an article about the rejection and condemnation on mixed marriages so I imagine where this on lays down.
