Mayor of Reykjavík Mr. Jón Gnarr has asked Moscow authorities to allow a proposed gay pride march to go forward without police interference. In a letter Mr. Jón Gnarr recently sent to Moscow´s mayor, Mr. Sergey Sobyanin, he encourages him to re-evaluate the decision to ban gay pride in Moscow and "support LGBT people in their wish to live a decent life instead of preventing in". By banning gay pride authorities is simply "a discrimination against citizens based on sexual orientation: a human rights violation".
Mr. Jon Gnarr made a strong statement during Reykjavik Gay Pride when showing support to the Russian feminists Pussy Riot who have been behind bars for speaking up and criticising authorities.
