Gay parades not permitted in Sevastopol or Simferopol

Moscow, April 16, Interfax – The authorities in Sevastopol and Simferopol have refused to permit four actions of sexual minorities on the basis of the law banning the propaganda of homosexuality among minors, leading figure in the Russian gay community Nikolay Alexeyev has said.

“Like in the case of Sevastopol the bans on gay processions in Simferopol will be protested in court and if need be, brought to international bodies – the UN Committee on Human Rights and the European Court,” Alexeyev said to Interfax.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
