Moscow bans Gay Pride parades for 100 years
Moscow’s top court has upheld a ban on gay pride marches in the Russian capital for the next 100 years.
Earlier Russia’s best-known gay rights campaigner, Nikolay Alexeyev, had gone to court hoping to overturn the city council’s ban on gay parades.
He had asked for the right to stage such parades for the next 100 years.
He also opposes St Petersburg’s ban on spreading “homosexual propaganda”. The European Court of Human Rights has told Russia to pay him damages.
On Friday he said he would go back to the European Court in Strasbourg to push for a recognition that Moscow’s ban on gay pride marches - past, present and future - was unjust.
The Moscow city government argues that the gay parade would risk causing public disorder and that most Muscovites do not support such an event.
