(Română) Blind DATE!

Welcome to the official website of ACCEPT!

We are the only LGBT organization in the country and our story begins 13 years ago. A non-formal group named - Bucharest Acceptance Group was founded in 1994, with the aim to promote an open and reasonable dialogue on the complex topic of same-sex relationships.

ACCEPT (Bucharest Acceptance Group) was officially registered as a human rights non-governmental organization in 1996 and, in 1997, ACCEPT launched a national and international campaign to repeal Article 200 from the Romanian Penal Code, which was incriminating same-sex relationships.

Repealing Article 200 in 2002 is one of our biggest achievements.

In May 1999, ACCEPT was awarded with the “EGALITE” (”Equality for Gays and Lesbians in the European Institutions”) Prize at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels, for its overall activity in defense of the rights and liberties of the LGBT people in Romania. Also, in 1999 ACCEPT was nominated for the Sacharov Prize of the European Parliament.

Now, after 13 years of existence, we are still here, defending and promoting the rights of the LGBT persons as human rights. We are trying to make a better society for the LGBT community in Romania where everybody, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity, should benefit from equal rights.
