Several dozen skinheads attacked gay rights supporters Saturday, wounding at least two people and forcing the cancellation of parade through the centre of the Slovak capital, media reported.
Around 1,000 people had gathered in the centre of Bratislava for the Rainbow Pride parade when some 80 skinheads began to hurl stones and smokebombs at the participants, despite a large police presence.
Austrian Euro-MP Ulrike Lunacek was hit by a rock, but not injured, according the CTK news agency.
Eight people were detained by police, which asked organisers to cancel the parade.
The police "were clearly unprepared to face such a situation, despite our warnings," one of the organisers Roman Kollarik, told CTK.
"A bunch of morons who use violence, thwarted our event. We are very sad and disappointed," said Rainbow Pride spokeswoman Romana Schlesingerova.
Gay pride parades still face strong opposition in some eastern European countries.

I bet your a good God Fearing Christian aren't you? I bet your God is in tears over your statement.
keep your gay pride to yourselves. go back into the closet. no one asked you to come out.
Gay or straight a person is a person. To deny someone peace within themselves because they were born with homocidal tendencies is just wrong. No one says you have to be gay they just want others to accept them for who they are.
Homophobes are the true idiots!
If they wanted peace they would get out of my face with this illness ! There are cures for this dreaded disease . Being tolerant makes you a fool for anything !
11:56 Why does it upset you so much? Might want to look deep inside yourself.
they can have peace with themselves if they keep it to themselves. but no, they gotta shove it down our throats and call us homophobes when we express OUR opinions.
You cant force acceptance. If you want respect, leave us the hell alone.
ummmm 12:15
I think you mean homosexual not homocidal. Though then again 'homocidal' isn't even a word. It's 'homIcidal'.
Though gave me a good laugh though
And can't we all agree skin heads suck?

WTF is nomocida tendencies? You are obviously the idiot. There is no such term.
Being gay is nothing to be proud of. I'm so sick of hearing "gay pride!" Also sick of hearing about same sex "marriages" when the bible says marriage is the union between a man and a woman. What is this world coming to? I don't think violence against this is right but they are sinners.
