Moscow's anti-gay protesters held By Damian Grammaticas BBC News, Moscow Among the skinheads was one protester wearing a Nazi helmet Thirty nine people have been arrested in Moscow after protesting outside a gay nightclub on Monday. Moscow pressured over anti-gay incidents Gay.com U.K. Tuesday, May 9, 2006 / 11:40 AM SUMMARY: Human Rights Watch urges Moscow's mayor to crack down on anti-gay harassment and attacks in the capital and to allow a May 27 Pride parade. In a letter to Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, Human Rights Watch said Monday that Moscow authorities need to investigate incidents of protesters harassing and attacking people going to gay-friendly bars. The mayor has threatened to ban Russia's first planned Gay Pride parade, scheduled for May 27. "As Moscow's gays and lesbians prepare for their first Gay Pride parade, Mayor Luzhkov faces a choice," said Scott Long, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch. "He can stand up to protect human rights, or endorse the views of extremists responsible for anti-gay violence." On April 30, a Moscow nightclub closed doors to a major gay and lesbian party after violent protesters gathered and hurled eggs and bottles at club-goers. Organizers were hoping to attract about 1,000 people to the Renaissance Event Club's "Open Party" in the Russian capital, but arriving party-goers were met by a crowd of at least 100 skinheads, nationalists, and elderly religious protesters carrying Russian Orthodox icons and crosses. Demonstrators chanted, "Down with pederasts" and "No perverts here," the BBC reported. One club-goer was rescued from attackers by police, according to Agence France-Presse. Thirty-nine arrests were made in connection with the two incidents. The mayor's spokesman, Sergey Tsoy, had told reporters Feb. 16 that the city government "is not even going to consider allowing a gay parade." He claimed that the proposed event has "evoked outrage in society, in particular among religious leaders." National politicians condemned the proposed parade as well. Said Lubov Sliska, the first vice-speaker of the Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament: "There are several million people in Moscow who do not want homosexuals to have this procession. Who is going to protect their rights?" But Long said, "Mayor Luzhov should not allow anti-gay violence and discrimination to trump people's fundamental rights."
