Moscow Bans Pride for the Next 100 Years
As antigay sentiment heats up in Russia, Moscow City Court upheld a new law that legally bans any gay pride celebrations in the city until the year 2112.
The Moscow municipal government had decided to issue a blanket refusal of any request to hold a gay pride demonstration for the next 100 years. But the decision was immediately challenged by LGBT rights leader Nikolay Alekseyev, and this week’s ruling was the final in a series of appeals by Alekseyev. He had simultanesouly helped organize a letter-writing campaign in an attempt to stop the law.
Andre Banks of the LGBT rights organization aimed higher up than the municipal government in assigning blame.
"Remarkably, President Putin has stayed silent as members of his party advance a provocative antigay agenda that is putting him on a collision course with his allies in Europe and around the world,” Banks said in a statement. “Denying 100 years of Pride is no way to make friends in 2012.”

This needs to go the UN. 100 years or 1 year, it's fucking ridiculous. This is the 21st century. 
It's only 100 years. Not like a lifetime or anything.
Yes
