Young men and inhabitants of larger towns are generally more liberal in their attitudes towards homosexuality than elderly people, women and rural inhabitants.
The gay scene is not large but is growing slowly. As of Dec. 2006 there is only one official gay club in Skopje and several gay-friendly establishments located in main city. Also, there are three pubs/bars that have "gay nights" in their weekly programs.
There are gay news articles regularly in both printed and electronic media, as well as 4 web sites and blogs with solely gay content, news, rights etc.[citation needed]According to gay travel and rights webpage (Macedonia article is directed in link), gays are generally extremely ostracized from society if they reveal their sexual orientation. There are many stories about public humiliations, worker firings and even casting homosexual teenagers onto the streets due to revelation of their sexual orientations. There are also many cases of police harassment of gays, despite the legality of homosexuality.
