News came from Brussels on Friday afternoon that the Chisinau city authorities had, for the third year running, banned a Gay Pride public event.

Making this news more incredible is the fact that the ban on this year's Pride comes just months after the Moldovan Supreme Court ruled that last year's ban by the city authorities was illegal.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the reason the Chisinau city authorities banned the public parts of Gay Pride  were possible public disorder – and the promotion of sex which was contrary to Christian values in Moldova.
