A group of GLBT people marched in Kirov, Russia, May 3 to protest discrimination in the workplace.
Organizers said it was "the first action of LGBTs in Kirov." They carried flags and banners and chanted, "Love is not a crime" and "Homophobia is fascism."
The march ended when riot police arrived and the participants scattered. Some marchers blended in among other pedestrians and some were detained by police, then later released.
Kirov has a population of about 458,000 and is about 550 miles (917 km) east of Moscow.
