Moscow court upholds 100 year ban on gay pride

Russian gay activist Nikolai Alekseev says 'no other option' than to
take fight to hold pride parades in capital city to European Court of
Human Rights

Moscow's highest court has upheld a decision to ban gay pride parades
in the Russian capital for the next century.

The Tverskoy district court had previously banned public events that
qualified as gay parades from March 2012 to May 2112.

In defiance, leading gay activist Nikolai Alekseev claimed to have
found a loophole in Russian legislation and submitted requests for gay
pride parades for the next 100 years to the Moscow Mayor's office.
