Town burns effigy of kissing gay couple holding a child as part of carnival "celebration"

Residents of the small Croatian town of Imotski cheered and danced on Sunday while burning an effigy of a gay couple holding a child.

The violent display occurred during a town carnival, while a massive crowd looked on. In a video, many children can be seen watching as the adults around them applaud and play celebratory music.

The doll in the couple’s arms, placed there to represent a child, was adorned with the face of Nenad Stazić, a left-wing, Social Democratic Party member and a member of the Croatian parliament.

Stazić had recently declared his belief that same-sex couples in Croatia should be allowed to foster children.
