BERLIN, June 29 (UPI)

Gay Pride Day events in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria were disrupted by right-wing extremists, a German television network reported Sunday.

Deutsche Welle, without naming sources, said at least 20 people were injured at the first-ever gay pride parade in the Czech Republic when extremists attacked the event before it began. In Bulgaria, police arrested 60 skinheads who attempted to disrupt the event there, the TV network said.

Things were more peaceful in Germany, however, where the network said the 30th annual Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin attracted tens of thousands of participants and onlookers.
