It's very easy for an outsider to judge it like that. You can't compare the UK with an ex-communist, very religious country. These things can't really change overnight, it takes a few generations. So yeah, I wouldn't advise any gay people to go to Romania.

As someone who grew up in Transilvania I would disagree you have as much freedom and influence in Cluj as a member of the LGBT community as in London.

Yes the laws are a bit lacking but if you have the money you could actually change that.

Nobody really cares what your sexual preference or orientation is in Transilvania and most of the younger generation are very open minded so you don't have anything to worry about.

I echo that. Also, I'm pretty sure that even in such an "ex-communist, very religious country" there are LGBTs and areas (probably Bucharest) where LGBTs are rather accepted. If de-jure-acceptance instead of just de-facto is a dealbreaker for you I suggest come back in a couple of years/decades :-(

Yet the above website did just that.
