Antigay Protesters Disrupt Showing of LGBT Youth Film in Moscow
Source: The Advocate
Antigay protesters disrupted the premiere screening of a documentary on Russian LGBT teens Wednesday night in Moscow, decrying “Western depravity” and demanding to know if any minors where present, but in the end the show went on.
About 20 minutes into the screening of Children 404 at the Moscow ArtPlay Centre, the protesters, who were already in the audience, made their presence known, reports Gay Star News. They carried signs with slogans such as “Get Sodomy Out of Russia” and “Western Depravity Must End,” and some wore ribbons with religious iconography.
The film was interrupted while police checked the identification of attendees, as the protesters claimed minors were in the audience. Under Russia’s “gay propaganda” law, providing any positive information about LGBT people to minors is prohibited. It turned out no minors were present, so no law was broken.
The film resumed, and a discussion period followed, according to Colta, an arts group that backed the movie, along with the Heinrich Boell Foundation. The audience offered “cheerful resistance” to the antigay demonstrators, notes Colta’s website, which describes the disrupters as “professional trolls.”

Snowden is there. Putin let him in.
Pointing out gay rights violations is NSA propaganda.
