Today, Parade of Pride was held in Tirana. Tens of people part of the community or not gathered in the Youth Park to protest homophobia and disrespect of the rights of LGBTQ people in the country.
Jul Deda, who often speaks against the LGBTQ community, still felt the need to say something homophobic. "Terrible. Still, those who want to marry a man with husband are still on the road? Get out of Tirana today, "he wrote in a post on Instagram.

If the actor waited for support from 300 of his own fans, he did not get it. Most of the comments highlighted ignorance in the statement and expressed disappointment that Jul Deda, the "Great Master", appeared and encouraged hatred towards the LGBTQ community.
"How shameful to see such a message from you Jul! and especially when I see the answers that write on the other hand. These are not the problems of the world, open your eyes. You have to be afraid of people who comment on this kind of ignorance and this kind of aggression. I'm speechless and angry, "wrote a commentator, to which Deda replied," do not be bitter. This is my opinion and I'm usually not ashamed of my thoughts. "
While other commentators said:
"You were one of my favorite actors up to this moment. Shame on you and everyone who is hating the LGBT community. Love is love. "
"You must have the irony with certainty that homophobia from a public person as you are ashamed to hear. That one thing is to say that you disagree with gay couples, but it's another thing to denigrate and nurture hatred in the little minds of those who leave horrible comments in this post. "
"'They' are people like me and you. No one has the right to judge whoever shares your pleasures, bedding or other life. There is nothing to fear and care. "
"This is how men talk with micropenics."
"This is not 'thought.' This is hate. The definition of thought is hidden when fundamental human rights are violated. When you seek to see people flee from the land they have been born, they show ignorance, mindlessness, and hatred. What a surprise to me is that they do not seem to hinder these LGBTs, especially when acting as one of the leaflets. The Lek have blinded you, you do not see that they are nothing to do, nor do they not come with it, but they are watching their work. You see yours. If they really hinder you, I will not play a gay role on TV for two Lek. But I know what they are saying, the biggest homophobes are gay homosexuals. I know I just deleted this comment once, better hide the post than the comment. "
Wow, imagine thinking and stubbornly stubbornly think that some people do not deserve the same rights as you. The more so you can proclaim this foolishness to at least 300,000 people. As some other commentators said, in America, Dede would have put an end to careers for what he said. But we are not in America and we will not approach it as long as our public figures say so. Love, there is hope as long as others react and point out the logic of Jul Dedes and others like him.
