[speaking foreign language] eric: last year, she was attacked in a gay pride rally that church leaders called a blasphemy. ella: we were physically attacked. only by chance nothing serious happened, because when people are taught by the church that lgbt people are connected with pedophilia, it is to cover their own problems with pedophilia they have within the church, which comes up to the surface very often now. [chanting] eric: this was the first ever pride march in the conservative city of bialystok and priests joined the crowd trying to stop it. ella: the attackers think that they have got the blessing from the church. ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ eric:
