NEWS & LETTERS, April - May 2007Queer Notesby Elise Handing out red carnations wrapped in flyers that appealed for the legalization of same-sex marriage, half a dozen gay and lesbian activists held a demonstration in Beijing on Valentine's Day. Fortunately, this demonstration proceeded without incident. Police broke up a GLBT culture festival in 2005 citing that permission had not been sought for the event. * * * Organizers of a Moscow pride parade are going ahead with plans to hold the parade, despite Mayor Luzhkov illegally banning it again. Last year witnessed police detaining pride parade participants while neo-fascists attacked and militant Christians abused the same marchers. The mayor's recent remark that pride events are "satanic" is the source of protests and a suit against him by the march organizers. |
