Right-wing radicals chase the gay-parade in Odessa

In Odessa there was held an “equality march” of LGBT. No more than 200 people in the dense ring of a significant number of fighters of the National Guard of Ukraine passed from the Vorontsov Palace to the monument to the Duke de Richelieu. This is reported by the Odessa Internet edition Timer.

The route appeared half as long. Participants in the gay parade could not get to Dumskaya Square because of the extreme rightists having gathered near the Duke monument. After a short halt at the monument, they plunged into the buses and left.

Activists of right-wing radical organizations tried to catch up with them, but they could not, writes the newspaper.

As it was reported by the UOJ, representatives of all confessions speak out against the gay-parade in Odessa.
