MOSCOW — The mayor of Moscow, known for his overtly homophobic statements, said Monday that he would never allow a gay pride parade in the city, calling it "Satanic" and saying marchers should be punished.

"A gay parade... cannot be called anything but a Satanic act," Yury Luzhkov told an education conference, quoted by Interfax news agency. "We haven't permitted such a parade and we won't permit it in the future."

Luzhkov called for gay marchers to be punished. "It's high time that we stop propagating nonsense discussions about human rights, and bring to bear on them the full force and justice of the law," he said.

Would you believe Gulbuthian?

(As in, like Gulbuth the Rampant. It’s not an Armenian surname.)

You can take Russia out of the Soviet, but you can't take the Soviet out of Russia.

Russia is the inverse of the Hotel California - in Russia, you can't check out, even if you try to leave.

There is someone very lucid indeed... That is exactly what I would call the homosexual agenda: SATANIC.

Not even the RCC (Roman Cath Church) calls it so clearly... and yet we all know that is what it really is.

Hey that bottom photo bears a striking resemblance to David “Skinner” Allen of DUmmy fame...hmmmmmmm!

I wonder how a bunch of atheists back up their condemnation of homosexuality. I agree with their assessment, but don’t know what they have to base it on.

Actually, Russia is more Christian today than US. Putin even instituted religious teaching in state schools.

Amazing how some folks still stand up to nonsense. Good for the Mayor.

[stevio]

There are stories that Russia is becoming more Christian than we are. Good luck to them.

Do many atheists believe in Satan?

Can we run the Moscow Mayor for President?
It’s not like he has to show credentials or anything.

Finally, a Mayor who tells it like it is.

“wonder how a bunch of atheists”

Hard to find an athiest there,,, but orthodox christianity is ubiquitous.

Ironic, that it’s the former commies that are now doing what we should have been doing all along.
