Russian gay-rights activists have expressed disappointment after Moscow authorities banned a gay-pride march in the city.
The decision by Moscow's city hall quashes hopes the new mayor will foster more tolerance toward Russia's beleaguered homosexual community.
Russia's top gay-rights activist, Nikolai Alekseyev, says he received a letter from the mayor's office on May 17 outlawing the rally on the grounds that it could spark civil unrest.
A representative of the mayor's office press department confirmed the ban.

don shoot til you see the whites of their eyes?
The mayor of Moscow is a true humanitarian. Unlike Americans who just surrendered to pc nonsense and allowed the fags to dictate how they live.
Nice wheels.
nice woman but is she for the ban or what does she have to do with this story, curious?
Also good for Moscow not to allow these sicko’s march around.
No one wants to know how someone gets off sexually and it seems the Russians at least have some guts and not being cowards like the GOP , much of talk radio and the right
Now if "gays" were to be banned in Hanoi, just imagine the heads exploding! (Or maybe not, considering that libs don't object to moslem "homophobia").
maybe Moscow will just gun them down in protest of them
Spot on. "I'm running for governor, but first these are my sexual practices..."
If a potential office holder bases his/ her qualifications on sexual practices foremost, then as far as I'm concerned, they aren't bringing much to the table. I don't want to hear about it.
She is to a queer what garlic or a cross is to a vampire!
I couldn’t resist. Translation- “Not Guilty”.
It’s Daisy Dukova, and the General Leeski!
Pryvet, buck-a-roo!
Thighs
Now I’m hungry!
