Moscow: Teacher Layed off After His Support of LGBT Community

Victimizing of teachers who declare the need of tolerant behavior towards gays and lesbians (doing it not in schools but on public actions) is becoming now a new "national entertainment" for religious clericals and retrogrades with silent approval from the officials of the Russian education system.
Muslims have followed Orthodox in gay hatred actions. Elena B., a teacher of lyceum #5 from Saint-Petersburg, has become a victim of gay-baiting. She had been detained by the police during one of the LGBT support actions. One NGO "Deistvie" (Action) filed a complaint to the authorities demanding to liberate the school of the tolerant teacher.
Gay hate campaign organizers are refusing to admit the victimizating. They believe, according to the statement of the NGO "Deistvie" in www.vk.com, "we say a teacher is the best of us, but not the best LGBT activist, a fag and a pervert! Parents have the right to know WHO teaches their children!".
The defamation campaign was soon joined by homophobes and misanthropes in social networks. Elena B. is being assaulted verbally and threatened also with physical assaults.
This is the third case since the beginning of 2013 which had become know to public. Each time the Russian education authorities have fainted before the aggression of homophobes. For reference, in September 2013 a teacher from Khabarovsk was fired from the school. "Religious morality" watch-dogs had performed exactly the same trick. Earlier, a teacher from Magnitogorsk was freed from duties. She was "incriminated" with a support for LGBT people expressed in her social network account.
