The mayor of [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Moscow/"]Moscow,[/url]known for his overtly homophobic statements, said Monday that he wouldnever allow a gay pride parade in the city, calling it "Satanic" andsaying marchers should be punished. "A gay parade... cannot be called anything but a Satanic act," [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Yury+Luzhkov/"]Yury Luzhkov[/url] told an education conference, quoted by [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Interfax+news+agency/"]Interfax news agency.[/url] "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 westop propagating nonsense discussions about human rights, and bring tobear on them the full force and justice of the law," he said.

Gay rights campaigner [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Nikolai+Alexeyev/"]Nikolai Alexeyev[/url] reaffirmed that plans for this year's gay pride parade will go ahead despite the ban.

"We don't plan to make any changes. We still plan to hold a gay parade on May 29," Alexeyev told [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/AFP/"]AFP.[/url]

Luzhkov first called the gay pride parade "Satanic" in 2007, promptinggay rights campaigners to sue him for libel -- unsuccessfully.

Organisers have never been granted permission to hold gay pride paradesby the city authorities, leading to violent clashes with police andanti-gay protestors.

Last year's parade took place on the day of the Eurovision [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Song+Contest/"]Song Contest[/url] final held in [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/Moscow/"]Moscow.[/url]

In a public relations disaster for the city, Alexeyev and other campaigners were brutally dragged into police vans by [url="http://topics.breitbart.com/riot+police/"]riot police[/url] in front of a crowd of international journalists.

They were later fined.

I think its pretty darn awesome and amazing to hear anyone say the truth about this. Good for him!

[Jesus_lol]

Bah, i disagree.

I'll forever have the image of a group of priests (some female) standing at the front of the parade with their collars on holding a rainbow flag. Talk about scandalized. I'm pretty sure (I hope) that they were episcopalian.

wow, i post a dissenting opinion and get a negative mark. i thought people only handed those out for rudeness or being a jerk.

It is Satanic, insofar as homosexual acts are lies. The violent reaction to their non-violent march, however, was also a little less-than-celestial.

Negative points are given out for all sorts of reasons. I got a negative point recently for defending the dogmatic importance of icons against the modern abstractionism evident in many Western Churches.

Looks like some of the weird vestments I made 15+ years ago. I was so stupid, I thought all these requests for rainbow stuff was for like a sunrise Easter service. Once Easter was over, and I kept getting the same orders, the lady at the fabric store explained to me about who usually wanted the rainbow fabric.
