In a controversial interview with Jutarnji list, Zvonimir Dobrović, a prominent figure in the Croatian LGBT community and the head of the organization Domino, argues for increased support and funding for queer cultural projects. He claims that such initiatives have great economic potential and could significantly benefit Croatia. This assertion, however, has ignited a backlash as many critics label his endeavors as unworthy of public funding, considering them as 'queer waste'.

The piece also critiques Dobrović’s characterizations of his critics, suggesting that he distorts their words and portrays himself as a victim of censorship, claiming there are forces against his presence in the public sphere. In his defense, he emphasizes the international interest in his work, referencing coverage by The New York Times, and argues that this is indicative of the need for the Croatian Ministry of Culture to allocate more resources to support queer art and performance.

However, the commentary underlines a growing discontent among parts of Croatian society regarding the use of taxpayer money to fund these initiatives. By referring to the projects as 'theatrical nonsense,' the author presents a polarized view of the cultural landscape in Croatia, raising questions about the dynamics between public funding, artistic expression, and societal values in the current political climate.
