Rainbow NewsGay movie and pro-gay pickets against "Don't say gay" law voting
13 Jan. 2013
The Russian gay community reserves its attempts to somehow influence the State Duma deputies while they are planning to approve in its first reading the federal law that bans the so-called homopropaganda. The profile committees of the Russian parliament recommended to introduce the ban despite the negative resolution of the State Duma's law department.
So far, Russian LGBT organizations have been collecting signatures and sending lawyers' findings, and Russian and international experts' conclusions to the deputies. On January 19, the Side-by-side movie festival welcomes everyone on a special event. On the eve of adoption of the federal law "Don't say gay", a movie "Call me Kuchu" will be shown in Moscow. This movie tells about LGBT people status in Uganda where homosexuality is not only a sin but also is outlawed. After the movie a discussion on finding new and effective ways to resist hate towards gays will be held.
Gay activist in Voronezh filed an application to hold a meeting on January 20. They plan to lead up to 50 people to the central streets of the city in a move to attract the society's attention to the adoption of the new article 6.13.1 of the law.
For reference: On November 30 last year the Russian LGBT network initiated the public campaign aimed against adoption of that article 6.13.1. More than 5 000 signatures were collected. The petition was sent to the Chairman of the State Duma and the Chairwoman of the Federation's Council as well as to the heads of Parliament's groups. The campaign was backed by FIDH (International Federation for Human rights, SETA - LGBT Organization from Finnland, CGT - the biggest trade union from France and many other organizations and unions from around the world.
"Under the pretence of protection of minors from non-existing and fabricated by the authors of this draft law threat, the freedom of expression of opinion of those who do not want to live and to love being guided by the outdated rules and personal views of some representatives of the state power, is being suppressed. Human ties, personal relations, love, care and fidelity are diverse and each one should decide for himself what do these words mean. The state is again trying to violate our private life and decide for us whether our life is of "full value" or not...", read the statement of the Russian LGBT Network.
