Since 2005, November 4th is the day of celebration of “Day of National Unity”. Many neo-Nazi nationalists now consider this also to be a holiday to celebrate fascist virtues. On this day, throughout the country, there will be “Marches for Russia” and other neo-Nazi demonstrations.

As a response, on the 4th of November, there will also be a series of public events, “Protect Our City from Fascism” All sympathetic social organizations (including “Coming Out”) and residents of Petersburg will participate. For us gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered, this is a chance to show our position: In this world, every person has a place and we recognize the human worth of every individual - regardless of skin color, religion, denomination, wealth, sexual orientation, and beliefs. We believe, that in this world, all have the right to live without violence, or oppression and live in happiness! More details about the events will be posted on the group page “4th of November: Protect our City from Fascism”.
Stay tuned!! Thank you!

Dear friends,

On October 11 (Monday) at 19.30 we invite you to the ComingOutCinema devoted to the Interantional Coming Out Day!

After two short movies “I am gay” and “Intervention” provided by the LGBT Filmfestival Side by Side we suggest to discuss a key topic for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders: the topic of openness, the topic os “coming out of the closet”.

Should one come out? How does one come out? What will change afterwards? Can one live the whole life “in the closet”?

We look forward to seeing you!

October 11, 2010, 19.30, Ligovsky 87, office 300

On Saturday, October 9, at 15-00 a meeting for LGBT believers will be hold by the LGBT ministry “Nuntiare et Recreare” with the support of the LGBT Organisation “Coming Out”.

It is well known that LGBT believers don’t find understanding in their communitites. But we too have our own spiritual experiences, which is an important part of our lives.

These meetings do not attempt to create a new religious organisation, but are aimed at mutual support, communication and discussion of the individual spiritual experience that each of us as an LGBT believer has.
