On Monday, July 19, St. Petersburg City Court refused the appeal of the representatives of LGBT organization “Coming Out“, defending the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, of the decision of the Smolny district court of St. Petersburg, and recognized the decision of the administration of the Central District of denial of permission of the anti-homophobic picket as legitimate.

Since July 5, 2010 “Russian LGBT Network Hotline” started operating. The Hotline is designed to support LGBT community in Russia as well as their relatives and friends.
The number works 24/7, calls from within Russia are free.
The project is carried out with the support of Civil Rights Defenders

In spite of the homophobia from the society and officials, LGBT families can be wonderful places for upbringing of happy children both biological and adopted.

On June 1 in the Smolninsky district court of St. Petersburg the hearing on the application of the LGBT Organisation “Coming Out”, whose representatives challenged the authorities decision to prohibit a picket against homophobia. The settlement of grievance was declined by the court, but the human rights activists already stated that they will appeal the decision in the City court.

We invite you to join the “Friends against Homophobia” video-event, dedicated to the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (May 17).
We encourage all the LGBT and their friends to make video messages against homophobia. The simplest scenario of such message is: “My best friend is a lesbian, and I want her to live in a world without homophobia!”. You can film your message with a mobile phone, webcam or professional camera - it does not matter.
