City of Moscow bans ‘gay pride’ parades despite court order to allow them

MOSCOW, May 26, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The City of Moscow has announced its intention to defy the European Court of Human Rights and continue its prohibition on “gay pride” parades, citing the “moral damage” that may be inflicted on the young.
According to homosexual activist Nikolai Alekseev, the government of Moscow is concerned about “the large number of letters received in protest against the Pride events and Russia’s international obligation to protect the rights of children because Gay Pride ‘may impact psychological health and inflict moral damage on children and teenagers who were to become unwilling witnesses of the event.’”
Homosexual “pride” parades, which are now held annually in many cities worldwide, are frequently scenes of drunkenness and drug abuse, public nudity, and simulated and even real sex acts. Public authorities routinely fail to act against such behavior during the parades, applying an exception for the homosexual community.
The government of Moscow has been prohibiting “gay pride” parades since homosexualists first attempted to carry them out in 2006. It is continuing the ban despite the threat of a fine from the European Court of Human Rights, and has already been fined over $41,000 for its previous bans.
The decision of the Moscow government reflects a religious and social consensus in Russian society over homosexual behavior. According to a recent poll, 84 percent of Russians continue to regard sodomy as immoral, in defiance of America and Western Europe’s increasing acceptance of the behavior, which is often accompanied by a variety of physical and behavioral disorders, including high rates of HIV infection and sexually transmitted diseases, anal cancer, promiscuity, and depression.
The Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow, has called homosexual behavior a “vicious deviation from God-given human nature” and notes that the Orthodox Church “treats people with such inclinations with pastoral responsibility urging them to reform and resolutely opposes any attempts to present this sinful tendency as a ‘norm’ and example to follow. The Church does not accept any propaganda for immorality.” His opposition to sodomy is shared by Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish leaders in Russia.

Yeah, something tells me that Putin doesn’t really give a flip what some PC European Court says...
Some of the last holdouts against sexual deviancy are in Russia and in the Baltic countries. The EU fascists are clamping down on free speech, labeling them all sorts of names, including the “intolerants.” Hauling off people to prison for being “intolerants.”
City of Moscow bans ‘gay pride’ parades despite [EU] court order to allow them
Hahaha - Russia needs to jack up the price of natural gas for a year every time the EU does this :)
Moscow should allow a gay pride parade, but restrict the event to the last week in January.
There’s plenty of foot-stamping in Brussells tonight.
Good for Russia....not afraid to deal with the rotting core of society that will destroy culture and future. They have other areas to address before they can breath clean, productive air, but it is a good start.
That won't go over well with the seatless chaps crowd.

They can call it the “Icesticles Parade”
When did Russia become an EU member any ways??
Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!
did they ever get around to banning kiddie porn in Russia??
So, if the EU thinks that they are the governing body of sovereign nations; why don’t they demand a Gay Pride parade in the Vatican?

Looks like someone gets it. Calling a spade a spade.
How many divisions and aircraft carriers does the EU court have???? LOL
Reason and rational law.....what our Constitution is based on—the laws of nature and God’s Laws.
I wonder why most judges and legal scholars ignore the intent of our Founding Documents when they force the unnatural onto children so that it perverts their worldview and models dysfunctional behavior. Very damaging to children and denies their natural right to a biological mother and father, if you follow their insanity.
That thinking is not only insanity—it is evil.
That’s a great picture.
Good for Russia!
Russia. Seems more appealing to me every day.
Stat! Send some RATS over there to give B.J.s in public. Stat stat!!!!
