Russian Orthodox Church: No Gay Pride In Moscow

The powerful Russian Orthodox Church is weighing on the battle between Moscow gays and the city over the holding of a pride parade in the capital this summer.

Alexy II, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, is backing Mayor Yuri Luzhkov in his refusal to give a parade permit to organizers of the event.

In an open letter Alexy praised the mayor for his decision to “prevent public propaganda for immorality”.

The leader of Russia's Orthodox Christians said that a gay pride celebration would harm the family. He said that the Church has “invariably supported the institution of the family and condemns untraditional relations, seeing them as a vicious deviation from God-given human nature.”

There was a woman dressed up like Mary from the church's icons dancing around in a parade in the streets. It looks like the church rebounded.

yet you don't hear them complaining too much about all of the gay porn that comes out of Russia and Eastern Europe.

Priorities, Priorities :crazy:
