Moscow Mayor Bans Gay Pride Parade — Again

[(Alex)]

Так, чисто, расслабится и посмеятся в субботу.

Moscow will not allow a gay rights parade this spring, a senior city has official said. He equated homosexuality with alcoholism, the RIA-Novosti news agency reported.

The city’s mayor had previously said the event would not be held. “There is the hard line of the city authorities and the position of our main faith, the Russian Orthodox Church ... of the inadmissibility of such an event in Moscow,” RIA-Novosti quoted the head of the city’s international relations department, Georgy Muradov, as saying.
