NATIONALISTS PREVENTED TO HOLD "LGBT FESTIVAL" IN LVIV

Ignoring recommendations of the Lviv City Council and public condemnation the LGBT community decided to hold previously planned so-called "festival of equality" in the city of Lviv. 

Previously the city had tried to hint the "festival" organizers about extremely inappropriateness of holding such actions in Lviv. 

First the representatives of the City Council addressed to the organizers with a insistent recommendation to take into account the city residents' indignation about the "LGBT festival" and cancel the event, but, of course, it was ignored. Later a LGBT parade, which was planned to hold in the center of Lviv within the "festival" was prohibited according to decision of Lviv City Court. Earlier, on March 18 Lviv City Council filed a lawsuit in Lviv district administrative court on prohibition of any public actions at the Freedom square near the Opera House for security reasons. In addition the city central "Lviv Hotel" has refused the LGBT community to host the so-called "festival"  and it was moved to the "Dnister" hotel.

In the morning on March 19, shortly after beginning unknown called to the police and reported about bomb threat into the hotel after which the "festival" was canceled, law enforcement officers have brought its visitors out of the hotel and put them to buses. At this time, they were attacked by activists of Lviv' nationalist organisations, who were waiting for the deviant visitors of their city near the hotel. After a short clash with police, who, as usually, has protected the deviants the activists have attacked the buses with the "festival participants" with firecrackers. As result the uninvited guests have hastened to leave the town. Honour of the City of Lion was defended!
