Cinema: Austrians find Bruno hard to swallow
22 June 2009Die Presse Vienna
On April 23, France became the ninth European state to extend marriage and adoption rights to homosexual couples. However, unlike other countries, the measures provoked fierce hostility from sections of the public. A German newspaper tries to explain why. 
In a Europe where “marriage for all” has opened up a bitter divide in France, and at time when the Polish parliament has recently rejected civil union legislation, Sweden stands out as a country where lesbian bishops can legally get married without sparking controversy. 
After women and ethnic minority leaders, a third group of political outsiders is now making inroads into the European political arena: politicians who no longer hide – and some even flaunt – their homosexuality. 
Same sex couples continue to benefit from more extensive civil rights almost everywhere Europe. But de jure gay marriages are only authorized in five countries. Cafebabel.com sets out to map "gay-friendly" Europe. 
After Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen is back as Bruno, the notoriously camp Austrian fashion journalist. The marketing campaign for his latest mockumentary is in full swing, but Austrians are less than amused by the negative national image the film conveys.
