On the 3rd of May members of faction of far right party “Rodina” (Motherland) proposed a law project in the Duma against homosexuals. The first hearing of law can be in June this year. The main idea is that gays and lesbians can not work in schools, universities, and media and on key positions in army and police, if they openly recognized themselves as homosexuals.
Thus project appeared as the result of discussion around the first gay parade in Moscow which must happened on 27th of May.
European Greens are strongly against any discrimination for people on grounds of their sexual orientation. If that law will be accepted by Russian parliament it will violate not only Constitution of Russian Federation but also European Convention on Human Rights.
European Greens demand from all Russian MPs to stop this law in the very beginning.
