IN MOSCOW: “Activists from the Moscow Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender/Transsexual Alliance are asking Medvedev to bypass a city ban so they can meet at Alexandrovsky Sad park May 31, the Moscow Times reported Monday.
“We, the leaders of the LGBT community of Russia, appeal to you for help in defending our rights as citizens and bring an end to discrimination against sexual minorities on the part of Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov,” the group’s letter to Medvedev read.

My personal view is this. Here we are having an apparent conflict of interests – between gay minority and, as poll indicated, the majority of Muscovites. The legal way to solve it may be found in the article 17 of the Russian constitution saying: “The exercise of rights and liberties of a human being and citizen may not violate the rights and liberties of other persons. “ So, the Mayor of Moscow when banning gay parade made a legally sound decision. No wonder that Moscow’s District Court ruled that a city ban on holding a Gay Pride Parade was legal.
