Is ‘promotion’ of homosexuality among minors a Minority Right ?

.

Milan city council passed the decision on stopping the partnership as a protest against the decision of St Petersburg legislature that is seen as an infringement of minorities’ rights.

[..]

“We have explained our position to all, including Italy. The city legislators are not threatening human rights, they only care that the rights of those who are interested in developing the non-traditional approach to relations do not violate the rights of those who are not interested in this,” the official told the press.

The Milan mayor’s office also said the resolution on stopping the partnership was only an opinion of the city council, and it will not affect the mayor’s position on relations that remain at a very good level.

The gay propaganda ban by the St. Petersburg city legislature is the most advertised part of a larger anti-gay drive that is currently being taken by Russian society, mostly on a regional level.

The laws banning gay propaganda already exist in eight of Russia’s 83 federal districts.

Bravo St. Petersburg, Bravo

A district court in Moscow has declared videos by the Pussy Riot punk band as extremist and ordered internet providers to block them in Russia.


The judge read out the IP addresses of all the hosts of Pussy Riot videos. In accordance with the new Russian law if providers do not block the now illegal content their resources would be taken down completely after the court verdict comes into force.

In particular, the court banned the most well known of the Pussy Riot videos – the “punk prayer” in Moscow’s major cathedral entitled “Our Lady, draw Putin away”. The original video (which is very different from the edited version) was banned as was a clip in which Pussy Riot members sang protest songs on the Red Square.

The court agreed with the opinion of forensic experts who said the Pussy Riot clips were “a disguised call to organize mass riots on squares similar to the Occupy Wall Street or the events in the Arab countries”. The experts also agreed that the videos insulted the feelings of Orthodox believers.

The Russian Orthodox Church has said it is satisfied with the court decision adding that many similar materials had been previously put on black list and thus the ruling must not come as a surprise.

On August 17 this year, three members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years each for aggravated hooliganism for their ‘performance’ of the ‘punk prayer’ in the Cathedral in February.

I like Russian Orthodox church .. solid people .. in West, generation or two, pretty much all clergy will be homosexuals, church known today in west will become homosexual church, similar to gay marriage fiasco .. well , the real Christianity was always Byzantine, Constantinople should come back to it's glory
