The trade union of Russian citizens will go to Strasbourg to fight against homosexuality
Judge Vitaly Barkovsky was lucky. It is not often possible to represent common sense in a high-profile trial, which he himself called a "fun quiz". For five hours in a row, the plaintiffs convinced him that Madonna and her accomplices "undermined moral principles and family values", urging viewers to share the joys of "sodomites and sodomites." “Children will be born less and less, there will be no one to work, a crisis will come in the country, including a military-political one,” prophesied the plaintiff Nedoshvilin. The judge praised the plaintiff Boikov, who said that one should stay away from countries where same-sex marriages are allowed and that Russia's sovereignty is above the norms of the ECtHR: “That's how everyone would act. 333 million rubles would have seemed like a penny to the court (the plaintiffs estimated their mental suffering at this amount. - The New Times). The degree of moral suffering is clear - sovereignty. The same plaintiff announced the need to change the Constitution of the Russian Federation. “Sorry, this is not within the competence of the Moscow District Court (St. Petersburg),” the judge replied.

Fewer and fewer children will be born, there will be no one to work, a crisis will come in the country, including a military-political one.

Screenshots from Madonna's Facebook page, excerpts from Wikipedia about the LGBT movement, photos and videos from the concert served as evidence. “Especially those suffering, turn away from the screen,” the judge asked when showing a photograph of the singer against the background of a poster with kissing sailors. - Have you been to the Day of the Airborne Forces? If two men kiss, is that already homosexuality? How deep do you have to go to qualify this as homosexuality? the judge asked. “This is not friendship, this is a clear attraction,” the plaintiff Kolotkin assured him. “And if Alla Pugacheva goes to the USA and starts propaganda there in defense of the prisoners of Guantanamo?” the plaintiff Gizatulina frightened the judge. “Is this a question for Obama? I don't have Obama's address," the judge retorted. The plaintiffs simply explain the refusal to satisfy their claim. “Only homosexuals themselves could show greater tolerance,” says Daria Dedova, press secretary of the Trade Union of Citizens of Russia, “the judge simply did not want to shine in such a high-profile case. Look, at the trial of the "Rebellious Vaginas" group, the judges got the first number. But the Trade Union of Citizens is not going to stop, it will appeal to higher authorities, and if they refuse, they will turn to Europe for help: “We will fight so that the European Court of Human Rights recognizes that the promotion of homosexuality is harmful to society,” said Dedova The New Times.
