ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) Croatias president and government joined activists Monday in expressing outrage at the burning during a carnival of an effigy showing a same-sex couple with their child.
The incident occurred Sunday in the southern town of Imotski. A large effigy showing two men embracing each other was torched in front of cheering festival goers to the sound of the funeral music.
President Zoran Milanovic condemned the incident as an inhumane, totally unacceptable act. He demanded that the organizers apologize, while an LGBT group announced legal action.
The event was observed by many children who could witness the spreading of hatred and inciting to violence, Milanovic said in a statement.
Croatias government also said it is opposed to any form of hate speech of aggression and any act that insults the feelings of the Croatian people and contributes to the divisions within society, the official Hina news agency reported.
Burning of effigies is a satirical tradition at Croatias carnivals, often representing public figures or politicians. Past incidents included the burning of a childrens book about same-sex families in 2018 and last years torching of an effigy of a Croatian Serb politician.

This is wrong!
Those children are too close to that fire. Otherwise....
Good to go.
An image of what awaits them.
What’s the crime? Destruction of papier-mache?
Just who is outraged?
The mediots and sodomites are outraged... the rest of us arent
It’s Big Government vs The People all across the world.
They simply saw the public Buttigieg stage couple kiss and exercised their right of freedom of speech.
Oh, wait....
And reprobate minds bring a lawsuit ... must not be truthful on what is to GOD an abomination. First chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans covers it sufficiently. Wonder why little man Buutjudge hasn’t read that part? Oh! That’s right, he is a pretend Christian still dead in trespasses and sins, living an abomination in God’s sight.
The kids seem to be enjoying the pyre.
Yeah it’s a form of protest.
Go to a muslim country for the real thing
This is definately art
Another “outrage” fake !
Bwahahahaha!
If the President and government of Croatia are outraged over something like this, wait until they learn what muslims do to sodomites.
NOBODY is outraged. Its all propaganda.
Queers in closets don’t get burned
Thats just terrible! Boys acting like straight boys and yukking it up together...
Imotski is in southern Croatia a few miles from the border with Bosnia & Herzegovina. It’s maybe 40 or 50 miles by road to the nearest predominantly Muslim area. But I don’t think the Muslims in B&H are known for killing gays.
LOL! Good one!
Burn now, or burn in hell you queers
learning moment that will probably stick
