Gay Rights Are Human Rights!
Gay Rights are the
inseparable and very important part of Human Rights in general. In our times the
degree of their advancement and the successes of World Gay Liberation Movement
are directly and inextricably linked with the degree of advancement of general
Human Rights and personal liberties and freedoms in various cultures and
countries. The state of Gay Rights became one of the litmus
tests of modern democracies
and a test of the degree of general level of xenophobia and totalitarianism in
any society, the Nazi Germany and the USSR being two of the best examples. If
the state and the attitudes towards Gay Rights in any society are healthy
(balanced, rational, unbiased and as fair and egalitarian as possible, etc.)
this society itself is healthy. And vice versa.

The bill triggered protests in
Moscow and Voronezh
A bill banning "homosexual
propaganda" has passed its first reading in the Russian parliament. It still has
some way to go before it is made law, but is already proving divisive.
"I do not know any homosexuals personally, but I have seen them on TV and I
saw them on 20 January in the square here in Voronezh," says Yevgeny Mazepin, a
lawyer and leader of a campaign group called Special Battalion in Voronezh, a
city of a million people some 500km south of the Russian capital, Moscow.
He devotes much of his professional and free time to supporting the bill,
which has already passed its first reading in the lower house of parliament, by
338 votes to one.
The law will make it a criminal offence to hold public events or spread information about homosexuality to minors. Russia decriminalised homosexuality in 1993 but homophobia remains strong, AP said. Russian president ...

Clashes broke out when antigay youths (pictured) confronted participants in the banned gay-pride rally in downtown Moscow on May 28. (2011)
Russian authorities have for years denied homosexuals permission to hold demonstrations on the grounds that they would cause a violent reaction in the country, where prejudice against gay people runs deep.
Amnesty International had weighed in to urge Russian authorities to allow the May 28 gay-rights event to go ahead.
Efforts that began in 2006 to hold the event have consistently been met with official bullying, arrests, and clashes with police and antigay onlookers.
The Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights ruled in October 2010 that Moscow authorities had violated the European Convention on Human Rights by forbidding the rallies in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Gay-rights activists hoping that a recent change in Moscow’s political leadership — away from the famously homophobic former mayor, Yury Luzhkov, to successor Sergei Sobyanin — might help them break the cycle have been disappointed.
Russian activists vowed after receiving the authorities’ rejection letter on May 17 that they would proceed with the gay-pride event in the capital.
Homosexuality was a criminal offense in Russia until the early 1990s.

Сексуальность — сердцевина человеческой души.
Попирая права на сексуальную свободу ( без которой общая свобода и бессмысленна и невозможна ) ваших сыновей и дочерей, ваших братьев и сестёр полицейским сапогом и лицемерно-убого противопоставляя ей крест, вы попираете саму душу, включая и вашу собственную, и оскверняете сам крест.
Сексуальность и социальность — неразделимы. Это — тот цемент и те кирпичики, которые из первобытной толпы делают общество.

Statement by the spokesperson of EU High Representative
Catherine Ashton on LGBTI rights in Russia
The spokesperson of Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission, issued the following statement today:
"High Representative Catherine Ashton expresses concern over the approval by the Russian Duma
of a federal law on the "propaganda of homosexuality to minors", making it an administrative
offence under Russian law.
The implementation of this law could reinforce discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals,
transsexuals and intersex people as well as all those who support them and their choices, in
particular by limiting their freedom of expression and their freedom of association and assembly.
The High Representative calls on the Russian Federation to uphold its national and international
commitments – in particular in the framework of the Council of Europe as a signatory to the
European Convention on Human Rights – to protect the enjoyment of these rights by all
individuals."
