More Satanic Pride in the USSR, Please!

Russia, more accurately, is getting crazier by the day. Example: the phrase “Satanic Happening” is a direct quote from Moscow’s mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, about gay pride.

Mr. Luzhkov said: “Last year, Moscow was unprecedentaly pressured to allow here a gay parade which can only be called a Satanist happening.”

(Check out OUTzoneTV.com's picture from last year's riot HERE.)

Well, sir, we beg to differ. The authorities denied the activist’s application for a parade. Then they said they would just meet and have a rally. Then the government said they wouldn’t, or couldn’t, protect them. And so guess what? A bunch of skin-head bigots showed up and beat the crap out of the gay men and lesbians.

So, this year, the organizers have spent months appealing through the Russian courts for permission to organize. They lost all of their appeals. Now they are appealing to the European Court which Russia is a signatory of. Not that the brutes are going to listen to the court in Strasbourg, Germany.
But a pro-gay decision will make it harder for Russia to get away with such bigotry.
