Homophobic picnic in Yekaterinburg

In Yekaterinburg, in the square near the Drama Theater, a “Homophobic picnic” took place as part of the “Traditional Week” with the filing of the “Whites in the City” movement, known for supporting religion, citizenship and love for the Motherland. Only about 20 people gathered at the event, although there were announcements about the mass nature of the “picnic”. This is reported by the correspondent of [URA.RU](https://ura.news/articles/1036285028) from the scene.

On July 14, the Whites in the City movement announced a “Homophobic picnic” in the park near the Drama Theater in Yekaterinburg. The event was included in the program of the “Traditional Week”, which usually takes place in opposition to the “LGBT Pride Week” festival (in previous years it was accompanied by showdowns involving Cossacks). At the same time, the organizers of “Whites in the City” allowed sexual minorities to come to the meeting and stated that the festival was not geared towards discussing representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation.

After the event organizers [announced](https://vk.com/bvg_ekb?w=wall-194799545_13126) an excursion “Right wing Yekaterinburg”.
