A gay magazine has launched in Belarus even after the government refused to allow it to be registered.
"GAY: Good As You" will publish six times a year in Belarusian and Russian.
The first edition was distributed March 1 in Minsk. It also is available on http://www.GayBelarus.by.
"Unfortunately, the authorities have denied to register our magazine, making it unofficial and preventing us to print more than 299 copies according to the law, but we hope to be able to circulate a few in other cities by April," said Chief Editor Sergey Praded.
