If you come to the different country which has it’s own mentality and national identity, behave accordingly. We didn’t come to the UK and teach the English how to live and would appreciate if you treat us the same way.

HI have pasted a copy below. I feel that as a gay man lucky enough to come from a country and (generall) a continent where gays are accepted - where we can even get married and adopt children - that I have an obligation to object to the treatment of those people in Moscow. I urge everyone around the globe to do it too! E-mail to Mayor of Moscow:To Yuri Luzhkov, I write this e-mail to protest at the disgusting way the police force in Moscow treated gay rights activist in Moscow this weekend. The actions of the police and your own bigoted views have received world wide condemnation and I want to add my voice too. The treatment that Russian citizens as well as MPs and citizens of the European Union received in your city is abhorrent. That your police force stood by while people were attacked and then arrested those same people who is absolutely disgusting. What danger did those wanting delivering a simple letter pose to you, the residents of Moscow or to Russian society? Your own archaic personal views of homosexuality have clouded you political policies - banning Gay Pride in your city for example and stating that homosexuality is the work of the devil. You need to realise that the more you penalise and repress any group of society, the more you make them stronger. Your actions and the actions of the police in Moscow has done nothing but condemn you in the eyes of the civilised world and encourage people from around the world to lend their help in ensuring that Moscow Gay Pride 2008 goes ahead and the rights of gay Russian citizens are improved. Indeed, the Mayors of London (Ken Livingstone), Paris (Bertrand Delanoe) and Rome (Walter Veltroni) have all raised their concerns and condemned the incident. If they, as Mayors of major world cities, can allow Gay Pride events to take place (and prove that society won't fall apart because of them) why can't you? What have you got to fear from allowing gay people their right to peaceful protest? I wholeheartedly lend my voice to support not only those 31 people detained by your police force in Moscow this weekend but to every single gay, lesbian, bi sexual and transgender person in Russia. I have copied this e-mail to the Russian Embassy in London, the European Court of Human Rights, the Mayor of London and Amnesty International. I await your response to my e-mail.

Why? Because Russia is a member of the Council of Europe (which is different to the EU) and a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Moscow Mayor violated the Convention by banning a peaceful protest. The issue is, in fact, bigger than gay rights in Russia. It is about defending fundamental democratic values.
