MOSCOW, June 7 (RIA Novosti)

The Moscow City Court upheld on Thursday a district court’s decision to ban gay parades in Moscow for the next 100 years, Gayrussia.ru reported.

The ban came after Moscow gay activists submitted requests on August 23, 2011, to the City Hall to hold gay rallies up until 2112. The LGBT-activists used a loophole in the law that only determines the deadline for submitting rally applications (no later than 30-45 days before the event), but does not state how far in advance events can be submitted.

Moscow City Court dismissed the requests, with the district court issuing a 100-year ban on public homosexual rallies, according to Gayrussia.ru.

After the city’s main court upheld the district court’s decision, Moscow gay rights activist Nikolai Alexeyev told Gayrussia.ru that he would appeal to the European Court on Human Rights in Strasbourg.

Alexeyev, the leader of GayRussia, also said on Thursday in his Twitter that he had paid the first fine for propagating homosexual "propaganda."

The activist is the first to be fined 5,000 rubles ($170) under a new local anti-gay law in St. Petersburg after he was detained for picketing outside St. Petersburg's legislature building in April in protest at what he described as the "homophobic" new law.

The legislation, which makes it illegal to "disseminate homosexual propaganda" among minors, was signed by St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko in March, making it the fourth Russian city to adopt such a ban.

Several politicians and church figures have called for the law, which sets fines of up to to 500,000 rubles ($17,000) for violations, to be passed at the federal level.

Homosexuality was only decriminalized in Russia in 1993, and anti-gay sentiments remain strong in society, including Russia's political establishment. In 2007, Former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov described attempts to hold a Gay Parade in the capital as "satanic." No Gay Parade has ever been officially permitted in Russia.

I think I may move to Russia. This country's just getting too badass.

You're a muslim, you're against sexual pleasure


No, I'm not. I'm only a bit nationalist on relationship and marriage issues. Here in Turkey %90 of guys are horny and I chose to be different from them.

what exactly is bad about banning the gay pride parade? If its anything like the one in my city its a bunch of drag queens and cowboys in assless chaps, and adults groping and humping each other half naked. Not exactly the sort of thing that belongs out in public.

No one makes you watch them. And commercially they're beneficial.

Certainly you should support them if you beleive in free enterprise. But then most right wing ideology is inherently hypocritical so....

Parading in center of a city and propagating such events as normal, is not something easily avoidable, besides I do not want my kids going there because of youthful curiosity and seeing this shit. Also gay parading is only possible by public founding, here in Toronto something like 90% of founding comes from public treasury to run the event. That is something I find completely unfair, if homos want to parade they can do it at their own expense and in the woods somewhere.

Thanks for reminding me why most of Europe detests Turks and wish most of them gone out of her borders.

But, on the topic, the news are good indeed, I hope they would have chained the devil for at least a 1,000 years though.

PS. The Visa situation is bad though, Russian government seems to not be able to resist the temptation of cheap labour, consequently importing moral and cultural perversion.
