Gay parade in Moscow: ban on holding

The official is convinced that such events, of course, have the right to take place, but only within the framework of the law. In addition, the mayor stressed, such speeches should not cause concern to citizens and violate their rights.

“I don’t see any problem with people coming out and holding meetings. But if they intend to block the streets and block traffic in the city, then that is another matter. Then, of course, the authorities are obliged to severely suppress such actions, ”Sobyanin said.

According to the press service of the mayor, the mayor of the capital considers gay pride parades to be moral problems. According to him, if the public is against the march of sex minorities, it means that the city authorities have no right to authorize such actions.

“Our responsibility also includes the protection of people’s morality. And this is provided for, among other things, by an international convention, “Sobyanin said. 

We will remind that earlier the US State Department expressed concern about the dispersal of a peaceful demonstration of representatives of sex minorities in Moscow. 

Lady GaGa, in turn, criticized Russia for discrimination against homosexuals.
