The Transfiguration Lodovico Carracci 1594 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) After weeks of protests by Greek Orthodox priests and the country's conservative groups, the public prosecutor 's office in Athens filed charges of blasphemy against the actors and the director and producer of an American play that depicted Jesus Christ and his apostles as gay. The team behind "Corpus Christi," a 1997 play by U.S. playwright Terrence McNally , has been charged with "insulting religion" and "malicious blasphemy," based on a lawsuit by Orthodox Bishop Seraphim of Piraeus against those involved in the play, according to Reuters . "What I see is that there are people who have robbed the country blind who are not in jail and the prosecutor turns against art," Albanian-born director Laertis Vasiliou was quoted as saying, referring to tax evaders and others blamed for driving Greece to near-bankruptcy. Police were tasked Friday with identifying product

June 12, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Moscow’s City Court has confirmed a lower court decision permitting the denial of a request for permits for “gay pride” marches for the next hundred years, according to Russian and international media sources. The decision came as a result of a legal tactic by Russian homosexual activists , who asked for a century’s worth of permits using a loophole in the law that places no time limit on such requests. Activists say they were seeking to provoke a denial of all the permits so that they could file a complaint of “discrimination” in the European Court of Human Rights . They asked for permits from March 2012 through May 2112, amounting to a total of 102. Moscow authorities did not issue a decision, but simply sent a letter to the activists outlining the proper procedure for making such requests. The activists, led by Nikolay Alexeyev , pushed their case based on the 15-day time limit for a response required by law. However, a city district co

Calling the event “ Gay Pride 2012,” despite the ban, protesters held rainbow flags and signs, and made declarations to the media. At least one wore a Wicca symbol on her neck. According to video posted on YouTube by march supporters, Orthodox activists disrupted the event by snatching the signs from the protesters, and even splashing holy water on them.  Some scuffled with demonstrators and took swings at them, although there were no reports of injuries. Moscow police followed up by arresting the homosexual protesters, although some Orthodox were arrested as well. Pro-family activist Dmitry Tsariono

May 18, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The Moscow city government has declined to issue a permit for a “gay pride” parade for the seventh year in a row, defying a European Court of Human Rights ruling against the city in 2010 that resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Promising that he would “appeal in the Tverskoi court on Monday,” homosexual activist Nikolai Alexeyev added that “we’ll hold the rally in any case.” In previous years activists have sought to defy the ban on their marches, but have been quickly arrested or dispersed by police. The homosexualist website Gay Russia reports that the Moscow government responded to this year’s petition by stating that such a march would cause “a negative reaction in society.” “In the opinion of the citizens, activities associated with the discussion of sexual relations, open to public areas, is a provocation, causing moral harm to children and adolescents” the government stated, and added that such marches “insult t

A poll conducted by state-run pollster VTsIOM , showed 86 percent of 1,600 respondents nationwide said they supported a ban on the promotion of homosexual relationships . Recently, the Russian Federation delegation at the G8 Summit refused to endorse a joint statement by foreign ministers that included “lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender” people in its affirmation of human rights. A footnote to the statement read, “The Russian Federation disassociates itself from this language given the absence of any explicit definition or provision relating to such a group or such persons as separate rights holders under international human rights law.” Sergei Ryabkov , Russia’s deputy foreign minister said that “under the pretext of protec

Twenty-nine out of the assembly’s 50 members voted in favor of the measure, which will now be sent to the city’s governor for his signature. The Moscow Times reports that other Russian cities are considering similar bills. St. Petersburg governor George Poltavechenko told reporters today that he had not yet seen the bill, but “if it conforms to applicable federal law, then anything is possible.” If passed, the bill will subject individuals who violate the law to a fine of up to 5,000 rubles ($172), and organizations to a fine of up to 500,000 rubles ($17,200). Vladimir Legoida, a spokesman for the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church , hailed the measure and dismissed critics who claim it violates “human rights,” noting that “a global trend in such matters is not an a

Image via Wikipedia The City of Moscow has announced its intention to defy the European Court of Human Rights and continue its prohibition on “gay pride” parades, citing the “moral damage” that may be inflicted on the young. According to homosexual activist Nikolai Alekseev , the government of Moscow is concerned about “the large number of letters received in protest against the Pride events and Russia ’s international obligation to protect the rights of children because Gay Pride ‘may impact psychological health and inflict moral damage on children and teenagers who were to become unwilling witnesses of the event.’” Homosexual “pride” parades, which are now held annually in many cities worldwide, are frequently scenes of drunkenness and drug abuse, public nudity, and simulated and even real sex acts. Public authorities routinely fail to act against such behavior during the parades, applying an exception for the homosexual community. The government of Moscow has been prohibiti
