Belarusian gays were first allowed to hold an action in Minsk

Representatives of Belarusian sex minorities first received the consent of the authorities to hold an action in the capital of the republic. “For the first time, the Minsk City Executive Committee allowed us to hold a rally in Minsk. The action will be held in the center of the capital,” said Sergey Androsenko, a leader of the sex -minority movement, not registered in Belarus.

In turn, the coordinator of this action, Sergei great-grandfather, clarified that "the action of representatives of sex minorities dedicated to the Day of all lovers (February 14) will be held in the square located 50 meters from the administrative building in which several ministries are located, " Interfax reports.

"We were not allowed to use the traditional seven -color flag, but we will hold posters with calls to register this symbol of gays all over the world," the great -grandfather said. He also noted that the Minsk authorities allowed a action in which up to 15 people can participate.

As reported, last year the police did not allow Minsk a street action of gays, in which representatives of sex minorities from Russia, led by Gay-Leider Nikolai Alekseev, organizer of all Moscow sex marines prohibited by the metropolitan mayor, intended to take part in Minsk.

Complex relationships in sexual minorities with the authorities also happen in Russia itself. On October 21, 2010, the Human Rights Court of Strasbourg ruled that in 2006-2008, Moscow authorities illegally denied sexuals in conducting processions, and ordered Russia to pay 29 thousand euros for legal expenses for legal expenses and as compensation for non-pecuniary damage. However, even after the decision of the European estate, Russian gays did not give the go -ahead to hold an action in Moscow.
