    A group of Russian-speaking LGBT Americans will march in the 2012 New York Pride Parade to raise awareness about anti-gay laws recently passed in Russia and Ukraine. These laws ban discussion of LGBT topics and gay pride parades. The group was formed in 2008 to provide support for Russian LGBT individuals in New York. By marching, they hope to protest censorship, homophobia, and violence facing the LGBT community in Russia.
