Bigotry on the Moskva

Amazing as it may seem the United States does not have a monopoly on right wing religious bigots, especially the homophobic ones. The mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov, has banned a gay rights parade in the city and referred to it as Satanic. In so doing he has gained the full support of the Russian Orthodox Church. Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, a spokesman for the church, said:

"I believe that in the 21st century people will realize the malignancy of perversions opposing the family in its natural form as bestowed by God."

A nice refreshing 21st century attitude don't you think?
