The Russian authorities, must do very thing to stop any Gay Parade from taking place in Russiameven even if it will take place at the same time as the Eurovision closing contest . There must be at least on decent country in Europe. I dont see any reason for Gays to be parading themselves on the streets. If gays want to Parade themselves on the 16th of May..then sure they can go to the Republic of Gorgia and have their Gay Parade. Because Gorgia and those country of the West that Support Georgia and its unprincilpled Government would be too happy to welcome something as outragious as a Gay Parage through the Gerorian Capital. Such a parade must never take place in Russia. No matter what the other unprincipled countries have to say .
