Police in Moscow have started arresting participants of the Pride march, including Green Party human rights spokesperson Peter Tatchell.
The march had been banned by homophobic Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who according to Sky News has previously described homosexuality as "satanic".
This oppression of the gay community comes the same day as Moscow hosts the Eurovision Song Contest.
We should show our disgust at Russia's actions by boycotting the show tonight.
