KTV’s editor-in-chief Adriatik Kelmendi admits that ten years ago he also had prejudices for members of the LGBT community but today, he feels ashamed with how he perceived the community. He says that prejudice is probably the biggest human epidemics and the recent example in Kosovo, when none of political representatives invited to discuss the inclusion of the LGBT community in politics showed up in the debate, shows how much “cowardice” there is in the Kosovo society with regards to LGBT members. Some Kosovo politicians, recalls Kelmendi, even went so far as to say that Kosovo does not need to discuss such topics and to top it all off. At the same time, Kelmendi also accuses members of the LGBT community for not coming out publicly and admitting their sexual orientation as their rights cannot be fought for only by certain individuals and groups. “No right has been acquired without risks and sacrifices,” he writes.
