Moscow government won't allow gay parade
MOSCOW. Feb 16 (Interfax) - The Moscow city government will not allow a gay parade in the city on any circumstances and in any form, Moscow mayor's press secretary Sergei Tsoi told Interfax on Thursday.
Commenting on recent media reports that sexual minorities planned a mass action in Moscow, Tsoi said these reports "have evoked outrage in society, in particular, among religious leaders."
"The Moscow government is not even going to consider allowing a gay parade," he said.
Tsoi suggested that all speculations that the parade might be held in the form of a rally in defense of sexual minorities are only a disguise.
