Inappropriate union
In the Tagansky registry office of Moscow, transgender Rades Lynn and Sofia Grozovskaya registered a marriage. This was reported by the correspondent of "faces".
About 40 relatives and friends of Lynn and Grozovskaya came to the marriage. First, the employees of the registry office demanded to remove all the rainbow symbols. Then one of the guests tied a rainbow flag on himself as a scarf.
About 10 police officers appeared at the registry office. They began to hint that their actions would be regarded as hooliganism, because they insult the registry office employees with their appearance. The police also said that the registry office has a young child of one of the employees (a hint of a criminal article on the promotion of "non -traditional sexual relations"). A car carrier drove up to the building.
The registry office employees barricaded in the room and refused to open the door. After long negotiations, those who came agreed to remove the flag. After that, the employees of the registry office, having consulted with the police and unknown people in civilian clothes, still decided to register the marriage, not paying attention to other rainbow details of the costumes. At the same time, none of the guests and even parents of the newlyweds were allowed into the registration hall.
After registering the newlyweds and guests to the metro were accompanied by the police, fearing the conduct of "inconsistent shares."

The couple was able to submit an application for marriage, since according to the documents the Lynn is listed as a woman, and Grozovskaya - a man. In life, their gender roles are opposite.
“You have extremely complicated transgender people with the possibility of changing documents, and therefore many of them use the passport that they issued before the transition to the last. And the person I love, according to the passport, is still a man. So we will conclude marriage in Russia. I sincerely hope that in the process one of you, abominable homophobes, will burst from powerless anger,” the linn said in January.

According to Grozovskaya, the registry office said: "If you create a picture for the press, then we do not want to participate in this."
