Rainbow NewsIn Kostroma and Petrozavodsk gay picket authorized, in Moscow and Samara conflicted with "patriotism"
16 May 2013
Moscow authorities have refused gay activists to realize their constitutional freedom on meetings on the grounds of "abidance of morals and orientation on development of patriotism among minors". This statement was given by Moscow City Hall official Mr. Alexey Mayorov who is famous for his numerous gay hate replies. His speech sounds particularly cynical on the background of a murder of a 23-year old citizen of Volgograd who had been brutally tormented to death on the night of May 10, 2013 by local bad-asses whose "patriotic" feelings were allegedly offended by victim's homosexuality.
Moscow's bureaucrats, according to mass-media, are most likely to deny every application from LGBT activists. The official denials were already received by e-mail. Moreover, local officials did not find a possibility to authorize LGBT actions on the territory of a newly established "Hyde-park" in the Sokolniki city park. No news are available on gay-pride in the Khimki town near the capital.
Another gay action on Gorkiy Park's Hyde-park, as LGBT activists inform, was authorized earlier but they have received a warning - a denial may be issued at any moment. And yesterday the information about the gay action's authorization was deleted from Gorky Park's Internet site.
Meanwhile, regional Russian authorities are likely to be more law abiding. Earlier we have informed you about authorization of a gay picket and march in Kostroma and in Saint-Petersburg. The leaked information says that Petrozavodsk City Hall had authorized "Rainbow flashmob" that was scheduled on Friday, May 17. The aim of this LGBT action - to inform the society about rise of violence towards people with non-traditional sexual orientation. In Khabarovsk LGBT action was also authorized by local officials.
There are problems with authorization of LGBT action on Tyumen - authorities are searching for a suitable place to hold the action (according to the latest news - the gay picket was canceled due to threats of physical violence). In homophobic Novosibirsk local authorities have deliberately refused gay activists application on the grounds of the gay-hate law which is in effect in that Siberian city. But in Samara (with gay-hate law in power there) allowed gays to hold LGBT flashmob there.
Follow our news and read the "Security" section on the Russian part of the website in order to avoid violence from religious obscurantists who threw out all restraint, clericals and "Orthodox patriots" if you dare to join LGBT actions on the territory of the Russian Federation.
