Yes! I'm from Croatia. Since it's a predominantly Catholic country (85% of the population), you can imagine how it is for LGBT people here.
There was a referendum almost five months ago which was started by a conservative citizens' initiative called
In the Name of the Family which managed to gather more than 700,000 signatures demanding a referendum. Basically, what they wanted was an amendment to the constitution where marriage would be defined as a union between a man and a woman.
Sadly, 65 % of the voters voted
for and not against the amendment, so the constitution was changed after that, which means that same-sex unions cannot be called
marriages, but still, because of the upcoming Life Partnership act (which was approved by the Government), those unions will finally have more rights than ever before. The new law still has to be approved by our Parliament, but I believe it will happen.
Aside from the unfortunate incident with the referendum, things have slowly started changing for the better in the last few years (for example, there's much less incidents during the Zagreb Pride parade than before), but it's going to take years before all of us can truly be out in our country. As it is right now, one can be out to their family/friends, but it's always best to be careful.
It's somewhat harder for us living in the eastern Croatian region (Slavonia) because it's far more conservative than the capital of Zagreb or the peninsula of Istria, which are super-progressive compared to the rest of the country. So, after I finally finish my thesis and graduate, it would probably be best for me if I could either move there or find a job outside Croatia. I'm hoping for the best, but we'll see
